Soft, buttery homemade crescent rolls that are perfect for holiday dinners, special occasions, or any meal that needs a comforting bread side.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (more as needed)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, and egg. Mix until combined.
  3. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and roll it into a 12-inch circle. Cut into 12 wedges.
  7. Roll each wedge from the wide end to the tip to form a crescent shape. Place on a greased or lined baking sheet.
  8. Cover and let rise for another 30–45 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Brush warm rolls with melted butter and serve.

Notes

  • For extra richness, brush with garlic butter or herb butter after baking.
  • Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight after the first rise.
  • Use bread flour for slightly chewier rolls if preferred.
