Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm milk (about 110°F)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh thyme
- 3 tablespoons Additional unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, the yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm milk and mix until smooth. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
Beat in the softened butter and egg until fully combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and transfer it back to the floured surface. Sprinkle the chopped parsley, rosemary, and thyme evenly over the dough.
Knead the dough lightly to incorporate the herbs evenly throughout.
Roll the dough out into a 12-inch circle. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the circle into 12 equal triangles.
Starting at the wide end of each triangle, roll the dough up towards the pointed end to form crescent shapes.
Place the crescents on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the melted butter.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve warm, and enjoy these aromatic, herbed crescent rolls with your favorite meal!
