Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to lukewarm (approximately 100-110°F).
Pour the milk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the egg and mix until a dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll the dough into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide the circle into 8 equal wedges.
Starting at the wide end of each wedge, roll the dough up tightly into a crescent shape and place each roll onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, with the point tucked underneath.
Cover the rolls loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, then bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Optionally, brush with additional melted butter for extra flavor.
