Buttery Flaky Crescent Rolls

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, sugar, melted butter, salt, egg, and 1 cup of flour. Mix well.
3. Add the yeast mixture and gradually mix in the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin triangle.
7. Spread softened butter over each triangle and roll up starting from the wide end to form a crescent shape.
8. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
