Homemade Crescent Rolls

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Dry Active Yeast
½ cups Warm Water
½ cups Butter
1 cup Milk
½ cups Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
3 whole Beaten Eggs
4-½ cups Flour, Up To 1 Cup More If Necessary

Preparation Instructions

1. Dissolve yeast into 1/2 cup warm water (110-115 degrees). Set aside and allow yeast to activate.

2. Heat butter and milk until butter is melted. Allow to cool.

3. Add sugar, salt, eggs, and yeast mixture to the milk mixture.

4. In a stand mixer, combine 4 1/2 cups of flour and the milk mixture. Mix until smooth and mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. If mixture is to sticky, slowly add up to 1 cup of flour while the mixer is running. The dough should be slightly sticky, but workable. Remember, a soft dough makes a light roll.

5. Cover the mixer bowl, and allow to rise until double, approximately an hour.

6. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces and form into balls.

7. Turn first ball onto a large floured board or clean counter. Using a rolling pin, dusted with flour, roll out ball into a 16″ to 17″ disk.

8. Using the back of a spoon, spread very soft butter all over the dough disk.

9. Cut like a pizza into 16 pieces. (I like to cut it into quarters, and the quarters into half, and then half again. This keeps the size of the rolls even.)

10. Each piece of dough now looks like a long triangle. Taking hold of each end of the bottom of the triangle, stretch the dough gently and roll up to the point.

11. Place each roll onto a cookie sheet, curving it into a crescent shape. Make sure to tuck the end under the bottom of the roll (otherwise it will pop up and burn). Makes 32 rolls, and I use 3 cookie sheets.

12. Allow to rise for about an hour.

13. Bake in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes.

14. Brush the tops of the hot rolls with butter.

Serve.

Now these sound MUCH better than what comes out of a tube!

Just remembered seeing a chef or two making these.  Prior to rolling the wedges into the crescents, they stretched the dough by holding the short end of the dough wedge sort of in the palm of the hand then pulling the point of the tirangle.  Gently.

There are pictures on that site I noted……step by step……….I was just thrilled when I found that recipe and step by step!  I've just never thought of homemade crescent rolls, they've always just come in a tube!!  Laugh  Duh!  I'm sure anything that can be bought can be made!

I tried making them a very long time ago and something went badly awry.  Still, they were better than from the tubes!  We usually just buy a package of croissants at the bakery at Sam's.

I saw a commercial showing how to make appetizers with the crescent rolls. Layering  ingredients onto the crescent roll ,rolling it up then baking it and when cool slicing across into bite sz pieces.(like a pinwheel). Dont know exactly what was used.Looked like cheese,thin slices of lunchmeat,bacon bits,etc.
