This easy recipe yields perfectly soft and flaky crescent every time, full of delicious real butter flavor!
Ingredients :
1 packet active dry yeast or 2 ¼ teaspoon
1 teaspoon granulated sugar plus 3 tablespoons
½ cup warm water 110°F
½ cup melted butter
½ cup warm milk 110°F
1 egg room temperature
½ teaspoon salt
3 ½ to 4 cups all-purpose flour
milk for brushing
Directions :
Combine yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and warm water. Let sit for 10 mins or until foamy.
Add melted butter, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, and warm milk to a large bowl. Add yeast mixture, egg and salt. Stir in 2 cups of flour.
Add flour ½ cup at a time to create a soft dough. Knead until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Place dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Place dough on a lightly flour surface and divide in two. Roll each half into a 12" circle and cut each circle into 12 wedges.
Roll wedges into a crescent shape starting with the wide end. Place at least 2" apart on a parchment lined pan. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rise 30-40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush with milk and bake rolls 10-12 minutes or until golden.
