Ingredients
-
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
-
¾ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
-
4 cups all-purpose flour
-
½ cup white sugar
-
½ cup butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature
-
2 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
4 tablespoons butter, softened
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted, or as needed
Directions
-
Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
-
Combine 2 cups flour, sugar, butter pieces, eggs, and salt in a bowl; add yeast mixture and stir until well combined. Mix in remaining 2 cups flour until smooth. Scrape dough from the sides of the bowl and mix to incorporate. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
-
Punch down dough, then divide in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch-wide circle. Spread 2 tablespoons softened butter over each circle, then cut each circle into 12 wedges.
-
Starting at the wide end, roll one wedge toward the point to form a crescent. Place onto a greased baking sheet with the point facing down. Repeat to shape remaining rolls. Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush tops with melted butter.
