BUTTER CRESCENT ROLLS

Butter Crescent Rolls

Ingredients: 

2 pkg. dry yeast

2 cups lukewarm water

1 c. sugar

1 c. butter, melted

6 beaten eggs

1 1/2 tsp. salt

9 c. flour

Directions: 

Mix the yeast with 2 tbs. sugar and 2 cups lukewarm water.  Add the sugar and beaten eggs.  Mix well with wire whip or hand mixer.  Add 4 cups of flour and salt and mix again until smooth.  Add 4 1/2 cups flour and mix with spoon or dough hook until completely mixed together.  (The remaining 1/2 cup flour is used for rolling out the dough.)  Cover dough with saran wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk.  Divide dough into 4 pieces.  Roll each piece into a large circle.  Cut into triangles and brush with melted butter. Roll each triangle into a crescent shape and place on baking sheet.  Let dough rise again until doubled in size.  Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes until lightly brown.  Brush tops with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.  Enjoy!
