HOME MADE CRESCENT DINNER ROLLS

Recipes

Tim’s mom, used to make these rolls for every holiday. They are our FAVORITE. They really don’t take that long to make. We make them the night before and the kids, Emily especially, enjoy rolling them out in the morning while I tidy up the kitchen and do other last minute things. I never used to try anything with yeast, but several years ago my mil convinced me to give these a try and we’ve been making them for holiday dinners ever since.


INGREDIENTS:

1 pkg yeast,
¼ cup warm water
½ cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup warm water
½ cup oil
1 tsp salt
4 cups unsifted flour
Dissolve yeast in ¼ cup warm water. Add sugar, eggs, and 1 cup warm water. Add oil, salt, and flour. Mix. Let stand 8 hours or overnight.
Divide into 3 parts. Sprinkle flour on the counter and on top of the dough. Roll each part out as if you were making pie crust. Cut into 8 sections like you are cutting a pie. Roll wide edge into the point. Place on greased cookie sheet. Let rise for 6 hours or until raised. Bake 10 to 12 minutes at 375 degrees.

Dissolving the yeast:

YUM YUM! These are a very nice sweet roll.

DeEtta,

They raise on the kitchen counter… I read back through the post and I'm not seeing where I mentioned letting them raise in the fridge! Can you show me where I have a typo so I can fix it??? Thanks!

I didn't say you had said they needed to rise in the fridge. Grin I meant to ask if you let them rise on the counter or in the fridge. My confusion was over the need to let a dough rise 8 hours (unless south dough) and then let the shaped dough rise another six hours, but it sounds like that's what you do. Most my recipes for bread say to rise until double so I wondered at the long rising times and was wondering if it was rising in fridge. My bad, but then again that was my question. Grin
