Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well.
In a small saucepan, heat milk and 4 tablespoons of the butter over low heat until warm (not hot, about 110°F). Remove from heat.
Add the warm milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined. Then add the egg and mix until a smooth dough forms.
Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup at a time, kneading the dough until it is soft and slightly sticky, but not sticking to your hands.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and chopped basil, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.
Brush each circle of dough with the garlic basil butter mixture, ensuring even coverage. If desired, sprinkle lightly with Parmesan cheese.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each circle into 12 equal triangular wedges.
Starting at the wide end of each wedge, roll it up tightly to form a crescent shape. Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheets, seam-side down.
Cover the crescent rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.
Brush the tops lightly with any remaining garlic basil butter.
Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Let the crescent rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
