Ingredients

• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cups Warm water
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cups Milk, warmed
• 2 large Eggs
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Butter, softened (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, salt, melted butter, and warmed milk. Allow the mixture to cool slightly so it is lukewarm.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and stir to combine.

Step 5

Gradually mix in the flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Lightly grease a large bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each circle into 12 wedges, like a pizza.

Step 10

Starting from the wide end of each wedge, roll the dough tightly toward the point to form a crescent shape.

Step 11

Place the rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, point-side down. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 12

Cover the rolls with a clean towel and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 13

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 14

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 15

As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush them generously with softened butter.

Step 16

Serve warm and enjoy!
