Crescent Rolls

My friend Amy (who I've gotten several recipes from in the past) shared this recipe on our online Facebook Dinner group and I immediately knew that I had to try them. These rolls are so incredibly soft and delicious. I made them the first time and swore right then and there that I would never buy crescent rolls in a can again. (Which is probably not true, but it is certainly WAY less likely.) They were so easy and just turned out so amazingly delicious that I would make them a hundred times over. They aren't as... flaky as the store-bought rolls, but they really are just so soft and yummy.

Ingredients:
2 T yeast
1/4 c warm water
2 eggs
1/2 c sugar
1 t salt
1 c warm water
1 cube butter, melted
4 1/2 c flour

Directions:
Combine yeast and 1/4 c warm water and let sit for 5 minutes. Add eggs, sugar, salt, 1 c warm water, and butter. Mix well. One cup at a time, add and mix in flour (might not take entire amount - dough should be soft).

Mix well until all flour is incorporated, but don't knead. Place in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise 1 1/2 hours or until doubled. At this point, either refrigerate overnight or roll out. (If refrigerated overnight, remove from fridge and let sit on the counter until room temp and then follow remaining instructions.)

To roll out, divide dough in half. Flour (or grease) counter space and roll each half into a large circle - dough should be about 1/4 inch thick. Using a pizza cutter, cut the circle in half, then in half again, etc... until there are 16 triangles from one circle. Roll each triangle up crescent style and place on greased baking sheet. Let rolls rise until doubled. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes. (Rotate the pans in the oven halfway through baking time.)

Yield: 32 crescent rolls
