Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 0.33 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cups Milk, warmed
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, softened (for brushing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted butter, warm milk, eggs, and salt. Mix well.
Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and stir until combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll one portion into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter over the surface of the dough. Cut the circle into 12 equal wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Starting at the wide edge of each wedge, roll the dough tightly toward the point to form a crescent shape. Repeat with the second portion of dough.
Place the rolls on greased baking sheets, leaving enough space for them to rise. Cover and let them rise for 30 minutes or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with additional melted butter while still warm. Serve and enjoy!
