Delightful homemade crescent rolls with a crispy exterior and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth center.

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. Activate Your Yeast: 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.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: 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. Knead the Dough: 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. Let It Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl and cover it. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Punch the risen dough down to release air. Roll it out into a large circle and cut it into 8 to 12 equal wedges. Roll each wedge from the wide end to the pointed end to form crescent shapes.
  6. Second Rise: Arrange the rolled crescent pieces on a greased baking sheet. Cover them and let them rise again for 30 to 45 minutes until puffy.
  7. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Brush and Bake: Brush the tops with melted butter and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer freshness, freeze them for up to 2 months.
