Homeade crescent roll dough?

Question

Are there any recipes on how to make homeade crescent rolls? (not pillsbury or anything, out of scratch!)

Answer 1

Crescent rolls are basically a scaled down version of the croissant....which is an intense labor of love....however, I do have a recipie from a bed and breakfast cookbook called The American Country Inn Bed and Breakfast Cookbook:

Lowell Inn Crescent Rolls
1 2ounce cake compressed yeast
sugar
1 cup warm water (78-82 F)
* * *
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 cup warm milk
7-8 cups all purpose flour
3 eggs
* * *
1/4 cup butter

Sprinke the yeast with sugar; soften in the warm water and set aside. Dissolve 1/4 cup of sugar and the salt in the warm milk: Add 2-3 cups of flour. Mix in the eggs and the yeast mixture: add the remaining flour until stiff but soft. Let rise until double in size and punch down; let rise again. Turn out on a floured board and let rest for 10 minutes.
Working with 1/3 of the dough at a time, roll into 9-inch circles and cut into 12 wedges. Brush the wedges with melted butter, roll into crescents and place on greased baking pans. Bake in a 400F oven for 10-15 minute until golden brown.........makes 50 rolls

Title: Spells Berry Crescent Dinner
Rolls
Categories: Quickbreads, Pitzer
Yield: 32 servings

MMMMM--------------------MM BY H. PEAGRAM
2 pk Active Dry Yeast
3/4 c Warm Water, luke warm
1/2 c Sugar
1 ts Salt
2 lg Eggs
1/2 c Shortening (Part Butter)
4 c Unbleached Flour
Butter Or Regular Margarine,Softened

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in
the warm water. Stir in the sugar, salt, eggs,
shortening and half of the flour into the yeast
mixture.

Add the remaining flour blending until smooth.
Scrape the dough from the sides of the bowl
and cover with a cloth dampened in warm water.
(The cloth should feel wet, but not be so wet
that water drips onto the dough.) Let rise in
a warm place (85 degrees F.), until doubled,
about 1 1/2 hours. Divide the dough in half,
rolling each half into a 12-inch circle
1/4 inch thick.
Spread with the soft butter and cut each circle
into 16 wedges. Roll up each wedge beginning at
the largest end. Place, point side down, on a
greased baking sheet. Curve to form crescents.

Cover and let rise until double, 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and bake for 12 to 15
minutes, or until they are a rich golden brown.

Brush with soft butter. Makes 32 crescent rolls.
