COPYCAT HOLIDAY CRESCENT ROLLS

BY JAMIE FROM JAMIE COOKS IT UP

Warm crescent rolls are the perfect addition to any
dinner table, and this Copycat Holiday Crescent Rolls
recipe is no exception. These buttery, flaky rolls taste
just like store-bought crescent rolls without the hassle of
going to the grocery store. These crescent rolls are super
easy to make, and are the perfect side dish, especially
during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Try them for your
next meal for a crescent roll recipe you will love!

Ingredients

 2 cups scalded milk (just put it in a bowl, and heat in the microwave for 2 min.)
 1 1/2 cups warm water
 2 tablespoon yeast (I use Active Dry yeast) + a dash of sugar
 1 tablespoon salt
 1/2 cup sugar
 1 stick butter, softened
 3 eggs
 10-12 cups flour, all purpose
 1 stick butter, melted (for shaping the dough)

Instructions

1. Place the warm water, yeast, and dash of sugar in the bottom of your mixer. Stir it around
and let it sit for 5 minutes. It should start to rise and get all bubbly.

2. Add 3 cups of the flour and mix for 30 seconds. You want to add this much flour, before you
add the scalded milk and eggs…the hot temperature of the milk would be too much for the
yeast, and you don’t want to “cook” your eggs.

3. Add the scalded milk, sugar, salt, softened butter (not the melted butter), and the eggs. Mix
for 1 minute.

4. Add the remaining flour 1 cup at a time, until the dough scrapes the side of your mixer
clean.

5. Mix on high for 8 minutes. This much mixing really improves the texture and elasticity of
the dough.

6. Let the dough rise, in the mixer for about 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.

7. Punch the dough down and divide it into 6 equal parts. Shape each part into a nice round
ball and let them rest on the counter top. Spread a little of the melted butter on the counter
top, before setting the dough on it. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.

8. With a rolling pin, roll each ball into a nice round circle. You want the dough to be about
1/2-3/4 of an inch thick after rolling it out. Pour a bit of butter in the center.

9. With a pizza cutter, cut the circle into 8 equal triangles. Start from the fat end and roll each
triangle up. Place on a large, sprayed cookie sheet.

10. Place them in a warm 170 degree F oven, and let them rise for about 20 minutes. Don’t let
them get too tall. Once they start to touch each other, they have risen enough.

11. Turn your oven up to 350. Leave the rolls in while the oven increases in temperature. Bake
for about 15 minutes. After about 7 minutes (or when the top pan has gotten a bit golden on
the top) switch the bottom pan to the top, and the top to the bottom.

12. When the rolls are still hot, brush them all over with more of the melted butter
