Homemade Crescent Rolls

Recipe View 5 mins In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let stand until the yeast softens and a creamy foam develops, about 5 minutes.

Recipe View 1 hrs 30 mins In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, butter pieces, eggs, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir until well combined. Gradually mix in the remaining 2 cups of flour until a smooth dough forms. Scrape the dough from the sides of the bowl, ensuring all ingredients are incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.

Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over each circle. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each circle into 12 equal wedges.
