Method
Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, softened butter, and beaten egg. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the wet ingredients.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a dough forms.
- Lightly flour your workspace and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place your dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Shaping and Baking
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut it into 8 wedges (like a pizza). Starting from the wide end, roll each wedge tightly into a crescent shape.
- Place the rolled crescents on a greased baking sheet, cover them with a cloth, and let them rest for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the rolls for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Try whole wheat flour for a healthier twist. Ensure your yeast is fresh and active. Don’t skip the rising times for the best texture.
