Ingredients

4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups milk
7 tablespoons butter, divided
1 egg yolk

In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, cheese, sugar, yeast, Italian
seasoning and salt. In a saucepan, heat milk and 4 tablespoons
butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until
smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (do not
knead). Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1
hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into
thirds. Roll each portion into a 10-in. circle. Melt remaining
butter; brush over dough. Cut each circle into eight wedges. Roll up
wedges from the wide end and place pointed side down 2 in. apart on
greased baking sheets. Curve ends down to form crescent shape. Cover
and let rise until doubled, about 50 minutes.
Beat egg yolk and water; brush over crescents. Bake at 375° for
