Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix yeast, sugar, eggs, and warm water until well combined.
- Add oil, salt, and flour to the mixture and stir.
- Let the dough stand for 8 hours or overnight to rise.
- Divide the dough into 3 parts and roll each out as if making pie crusts.
- Cut each rolled-out section into 8 pie-shaped pieces.
- Roll the wide edge of each piece into the point to form a crescent shape and place on a greased cookie sheet.
- Let the shaped rolls rise for 6 hours.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. If you're short on time, let the dough rise in a warm place. You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat for a healthier option. If you prefer a sweeter roll, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect for breakfast or as a side for dinner. They pair beautifully with Easy Tuna Noodle Casserole or can be served with butter and jam for a delightful snack. You can also enjoy them fresh out of the oven with a side of California Artichoke Dip for a savory treat.
