Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 0.25 cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 0.33 cups granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted 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 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, and 2 cups of the flour.

Step 3

In a saucepan, heat the milk until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the melted butter. Let cool slightly.

Step 4

Add the yeast mixture, milk mixture, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover with a clean towel 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.

Step 9

Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each circle into 8 equal wedges.

Step 10

Starting at the wide end of each wedge, roll up tightly into a crescent shape and place seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.

Step 11

Cover with a towel and let rise again for about 30 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 13

Brush the tops of the rolls with the softened butter.

Step 14

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your soft, tender crescent rolls!
