Let's Rock and Roll

I followed a link to a recipe for crescent rolls.

Reportedly, the rolls were so good they are called Heavenly Rolls.

I wanted to check them out myself.

My kitchen assistant for this baking experiment was RD

(MyGirl was busy studying.) 

Usually, RD is just involved in the eating part

but for this set of goodies, he was with me all the way.

They turned out beautifully, or shall I say heavenly.

It is definitely a keeper.

Heavenly Rolls

• 1 T yeast
• ¼ C warm water
• ½ t sugar
• 1 C warm milk
• ½ C vegetable oil
• ½ C sugar
• 1 t salt
• 4-5 C flour, divided
• 2 eggs
• butter, melted

1. Mix  yeast with warm water and ½ t sugar. Let stand until bubbly.
2. In a large bowl mix milk, oil, ½ c sugar, and salt with a wooden spoon.
3. Add 1 c of flour to mixture and mix well. Add 2 eggs and beat until smooth.  
4. Add yeast mixture and mix vigorously until smooth.
5. Add 3-4 cups flour to the yeast mixture. Dough will be very sticky. Cover and let rise until double in size (1 or 2 hours).  
6. When dough has doubled in size, punch down and divide in half.
7. Roll dough onto a floured surface making a circle about 12 inches round. Dough should be about ⅜" thick.
8. Brush dough with melted butter. Cut circles with a pizza cutter into 12 pieces (like a pizza). Roll from rounded edge to the point to make a crescent roll. Place into a large greased pan (11 x16)
9. Cover rolls and let rise for a few hours until double in size.
10. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes until light lightly browned.  NOTE: Touch rolls to see if they bounce back - if they do not, bake a little longer.
11. Brush with melted butter right while warm.
