Warm, tender, and buttery crescent rolls, perfect for any meal or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C)
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix warm milk with sugar and sprinkle the active dry yeast on top. Let this mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active and ready.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of the flour with salt. Create a well in the center, then add melted butter, beaten eggs, and the activated yeast mixture. Stir these ingredients together until a rough dough starts to form.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it while gradually adding the remaining flour. Continue kneading for about 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
  5. After the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Roll it out on a floured surface into a large circle about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Cut the circle into 8 to 12 equal wedges. Starting from the wide end of each wedge, roll it towards the pointed end to form crescent shapes.
  7. Arrange the rolled crescent pieces on a greased baking sheet. Cover them and let them rise again for 30 to 45 minutes until puffy.
  8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with melted butter to enhance browning and flavor. Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until they turn golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Allow the dough to rise adequately for best results. Customize with herbs or cheese for different flavors.
