Crescent Rolls (Bread Machine)
Crescent Rolls (Bread Machine)
This makes 16-24 rolls depending on the size you want. Basically this makes two 8 oz containers which are 8 rolls each, however, these are much tastier! Light, fluffy, and buttery, excellent rolls. Highly recommended if you really like crescent rolls, you will not be disappointed. If using this recipe in place of the store bought containers, cut the recipe in half by changing the servings to 8 rolls if your recipe calls for just one 8 oz container. If your recipe calls for two containers, use the recipe as stated.
Equipment
- Bread Machine
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk, warmed
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 4 cups all purpose flour, (512 grams if using a scale)
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2½ teaspoons instant dry yeast
Instructions
- Place the Ingredients listed in your bread machine in the order listed and choose the dough/raw dough cycle. While the bread machine is doing its thing, about 20 minutes, take out an additional 4-6 tablespoons of butter from the fridge and let soften on the counter in a small bowl, you will use this butter as directed after the dough comes out of the machine.
- After the cycle, remove dough to a floured surface using floured hands. Divide dough in half. Roll out each half into circle. Spread some softened butter onto each circle with a pastry brush and cut each circle into 8 or 12 pie-shaped wedges, depending on the size of roll you want.
- Starting with the wide end, roll up each wedge. Place on baking sheet with the point end down, cover with a cloth and let stand for about 1-2 hours until rolls have doubled in size. About 30 minutes before the end of the rise time, preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F). At this point, take out an additional ¼-½ cup butter and melt that, this will be used when the rolls come out of the oven.
- One batch ready.
- Second batch ready.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown, remove from oven and brush with melted butter. First batch done.
- Second batch done.
- A few got pretty big.
- If using these for another recipe other than rolls, use the dough prior to cutting into wedges and use as the other recipe directs.

Made it for thanksgiving, and they were great! The 4-6 tablespoons is just for slathering on the rolls. It is not part of the ingredients list.
Thank you, Nathan, for the great review! Correct on the additional butter, I just wanted to list ingredients that went into the machine and not clutter the list with an additional item.
I made these on 3 Sep 2018, as written to test this recipe, and the results were above all expectations! These are excellent rolls! Highly recommended!
