Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cups Warm water
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cups Milk, warmed
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Butter, softened (for brushing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, salt, melted butter, and warmed milk. Allow the mixture to cool slightly so it is lukewarm.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and stir to combine.
Gradually mix in the flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Lightly grease a large bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each circle into 12 wedges, like a pizza.
Starting from the wide end of each wedge, roll the dough tightly toward the point to form a crescent shape.
Place the rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, point-side down. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Cover the rolls with a clean towel and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush them generously with softened butter.
Serve warm and enjoy!
