Fresh buttery crescent rolls that are made with wholesome ingredients at home! These homemade crescent rolls are soft, fluffy, and easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 3 tablespoons water warm (+more if needed)
- 1/3 cup milk warm
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and sugar. In a smaller bowl, add the yeast and warm water. Stir together to dissolve the yeast and let sit for 2 minutes.
- Add the yeast to the flour mixture along with the egg, milk and 3 tablespoons of softened butter. Mix everything together. Knead it until it is smooth and soft, adding more warm water if the dough seems too dry.
- Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and set it in a warm place for 1 hour and a 15 minutes to let it proof and double in size.
- Press the dough down with your fingers and then transfer it to a well floured clean surface. Us a rolling pin to roll it into a 16 inch circle.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter over the entire circle. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the circle into 16 slices. (Start by cutting the circle into quarters, then slicing each quarter in half, and each of those slices in half as well). This will make 16 smaller crescent rolls.
- Start at the larger end of the slice and roll it to form the crescent roll. Curve the edges and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 375F. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush the crescent rolls with them. Let them sit and rise for 15 minutes. Then, bake them in the oven for 15 minutes or until a nice golden brown.
