Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ tsp yeast
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 2 cups flour
- ½ tsp salt
- Half and half (for brushing)
Instructions
- Warm milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm to the touch. Remove from heat. Whisk in sugar and yeast until dissolved. Add butter and stir until mostly melted. Whisk in the egg. In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk mixture. Mix with a fork to form a rough dough. Attach the dough hook and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and sticky. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about an hour until doubled.
- Scrape dough onto a floured surface and dust with more flour. Press into a large circle. Cut into wedges and roll each wedge into a crescent shape. Place on baking trays lined with parchment paper, spaced apart. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush rolls with half and half and bake for 12 minutes until puffed and golden. Cool on a rack or serve warm.
