Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon dry active yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- Additional Melted Butter for Serving
Instructions
- Add the warm water in the yeast to a large bowl of a stand up mixer. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to activate the yeast. The mixture should start to get bubbly and a bit foamy.
- Gently mix in the melted butter, milk, eggs, sugar and salt.
- Mix in half of the flour on low speed. Then slowly add in the remaining flour (1/4 cup at a time) until a soft dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and knead the dough for 5-8 minutes. Then shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and allow the dough to rise until it has doubled in size (approximately 1 hour).
- After the dough has risen, gently punch it down and divide the dough into 2 balls.
- Roll out each dough ball on a lightly floured working surface into a large circle. Then cut the circle into 12 wedges using a large knife or pizza cutter. Follow the same process with the second ball of dough.
- Then roll each wedge of dough to form a crescent roll, starting with the wide end of the wedge. Place the rolls on a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise until they have doubled in size (30-60 minutes).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit while the rolls are rising. Bake the rolls for 10-12 minutes until the rolls are slightly golden brown.
- Remove the rolls from the oven, brush them for melted butter, and then they are ready to serve and enjoy!
