Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ cup warm water
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ cup warm milk
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Dissolve the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar in the warm water in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Let sit 5-10 minutes, until bubbly and foamy.
- Add the butter, warm milk, egg, remaining ⅓ cup sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture.
- Add 2 cups of flour, and mix until combined. Mix in additional flour, ¼ cup at a time, to form a soft dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about one hour, until doubled.
- Gently punch down the dough after it has risen and divide into two balls. Roll each ball out into a circle that is about 12 inches wide, then cut each circle into twelve wedges using a pizza cutter.
- Roll each wedge of dough up, starting at the wide end, to form a crescent shape. Place on a lightly greased or parchment lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise until doubled, 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F while the dough is rising. Bake 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with the melted butter. Serve warm.
