These Crescent Rolls are light, flaky and fluffy and so easy to make at home! They are actually surprisingly easy to make!
01
Add yeast, warm water and 1/2 tsp sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir to combine and let stand for 5 minutes.
02
Combine 1/4 cup sugar, melted butter, milk, 1 egg, salt, and 3 cups of flour to the yeast. Knead using a dough hook for 6-8 mins, adding the remaining 1 cup of flour as needed.
03
Shape dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise at room temperature for about an hour, or until nearly doubled in size.
04
Punch down dough, transfer to a clean surface. Divide into halves, then roll each into a 12-inch circle. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut each circle into 12 equal wedges.
05
Roll each triangle from the widest edge, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let them rest for 30 minutes.
06
Preheat the oven to 375F. In a small bowl combine egg and 1 tbsp of water. Whisk to combine. Brush each crescent roll with the egg wash.
07
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy!
