Description

These homemade Crescent Rolls are the ultimate comfort food, offering a tender crumb and a rich, buttery flavor that rivals any bakery. Made with simple pantry staples like bread flour, sugar, salt, butter, and milk, they rise beautifully to create soft, airy layers. The signature crescent shape is achieved by rolling out the dough, brushing it generously with melted butter, and slicing it into wedges before rolling them up. Perfect for holiday breakfasts, Thanksgiving dinners, or as a side to hearty soups and stews, these rolls are warm, inviting, and incredibly easy to make. They serve as a delicious alternative to store-bought dough, ensuring fresh ingredients and superior taste every time.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a small bowl; let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, salt, and the yeast mixture.
  3. Add milk and softened butter to the flour mixture; mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles.
  7. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 10-inch round circle.
  8. Brush the entire surface of the dough with melted butter.
  9. Cut the circle into 12 equal wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
  10. Starting from the wide end of each wedge, roll up tightly towards the point.
  11. Press the pointed end underneath to seal the roll.
  12. Place rolls point-side down on a greased baking sheet, curving them slightly into a crescent shape.
  13. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let rise for 20-30 minutes until puffy.
  14. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  15. Brush rolls lightly with egg wash or milk for a golden finish.
  16. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until light golden brown.
  17. Serve warm immediately.
