My friend Julie makes these awesome homemade crescent rolls. They are so easy and delicious! This Easter side dish also bakes and freezes well so that you can make them ahead.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Mix in all the ingredients except butter. Do NOT knead. Place dough in a large, greased bowl and let it rise until doubled, or about 1 hour.
Punch down dough and divide in half. Roll out each half into two 12-inch circles. Divide each circle into 12 triangles and roll into crescent rolls.
Put each dozen on greased cookie sheets and let rise about 25 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12–15 minutes or until browned. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.
Notes
To make these ahead of time, after baking, cool completely and store in an airtight freezer bag in the freezer for up to three months.
