Crescent Style Dinner Rolls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water warm
  • 1 cup milk warm
  • 1 tbsp yeast
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup salted butter softened, divided
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1-1/2 tsp salt
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Mix together the water, milk, yeast, and sugar, and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and knead 7 to 8 minutes. Cover and let rise until double. (60-90 minutes)
  • Punch down dough all over, then divide into two equal portions. Shape each into a ball.
  • Place each ball on a lightly floured surface and roll out into a large circle (13 - 14 inches), keeping the dough as even thickness as possible.
  • Spread each circle evenly with 2 tbsp of softened butter.
  • Cut each circle into 4 equal quarters, then cut each quarter into 3 wedges. Each wedge should resemble a slice of pie.
  • Starting with the wide edge, roll up each wedge.
  • Place the wedges on a non-stick sprayed (or buttered) cookie sheet. The "tip" of the wedge should be tucked at the bottom.
  • Cover the rolls loosely with a towel and let rise in a warm place until double in size. (About 1 hour)
  • Preheat oven to 375 °F.
  • Uncover the rolls and bake 15 to 19 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.
