How To Make mom's crescent rolls

• 1

  Stir the yeast in warm water with the 1 tsp of sugar. Let sit until bubbly (I usually put this in my mixing bowl and set the bowl in warm water -this will help it process faster)

  Using a liquid measuring cup, warm the milk, add butter, remaining sugar, and salt then stir until butter is melted. Please make sure the milk mixture in not too hot and then add it to the yeast mixture, add the oil to mixture, also.

  Add eggs, mix. Add 3 cups of the flour and mix with a spoon. Add 2 cups of flour, mix with a dough hook if you have one, but a regular mixer with work. If you think you need another 1/2 cup of flour, add now. Mix well. (The mixture will be soft) Cover and refrigerate overnight.

  Two hours before you need to put in the oven, divide the dough into 3 parts. Onto a floured surface, roll each one out in a circle about 15" in diameter and then cut into 16 sections using a pizza cutter. Roll from the large end to the small end. Place on sheet pan, about 1-2" apart, cover with towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1-1/2 hours. Bake at 350 for about 12-15 minutes.
