These golden brown rolls are my mother's bread of choice for holiday meals. No one in our extended family can imagine a celebratory meal without them. They have such a rich taste that you might not need to butter them! -Kevin Weeks North Palm Beach, Florida

Buttery Crescents Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 24 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Additional butter, melted

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, sugar, egg, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch the dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 12-in. circle; cut each circle into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges from the wide end and place pointed end down 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescents. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 dozen (24 servings, 1 per serving).

I gave this a four star only because it was kind of a nothing flavor. HOWEVER if you add other spices it is great and this was a real easy recipe to make. Last night I wanted to make some bread sticks to replicate those from Olive Garden to go with soup and I used this recipe. The bread sticks turned out great. Sprinkled with Parmesan cheese they were awesome. It made 18 2oz. sticks and baked at 375* for 16 minutes. Brush with the melted butter and then sprinkle on the cheese.

Is the dough freezable?
