Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup water
- 2 ¼ teaspoons dry active yeast (.25 ounce package)
- 3 tablespoons sugar (divided)
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (plus additional for kneading)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter cold
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk and water and heat to 110 degrees (or mix together in a microwave safe bowl and heat to 110 degrees).
- Pour the warmed milk mixture into a small bowl. Add the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Set aside for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar and salt.
- Cut the cold butter into the flour with a pastry cutter until the butter is pea sized.
- Stir in the yeast mixture and egg until a wet dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
- Unwrap the dough and place on a floured surface.
- Roll the dough out into a circle ½ inch thick. Fold the dough in half to form a semicircle. Fold the semi-circle in half. Roll the dough out again into a rough circle ½ inch thick. For a second time, fold the dough into a semicircle and then in half again.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for another 30-45 minutes.
- Unwrap the dough and place on a floured surface.
- Roll the dough out into a large circle ¼ inch thick, or slightly thinner. Cut the circle into 16-18 thin triangles.
- Roll each triangle from the widest end to the thinnest point. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
- While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake the rolls at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly and serve warm.
