This recipe will make crescent rolls, yeast rolls or cinnamon rolls.

​

Combine warm water, sugar and yeast to proof for about 10 minutes.  If the yeast is living, this mixture will become bubbly.  

​

Combine scalded milk and butter.  Allow this to sit until butter has melted and the milk is cooled.

​

In a bowl, combine sugar, eggs, salt, yeast mixture and milk mixture.

​

Add 1 cup flour at the time.  Use your hands to mix well, but don't over mix.  Cover this with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours. 

​

Roll the dough on a floured surface in the desired shape.  (Triangles for making crescent rolls, or balls for making yeast rolls.)

​

If you are making cinnamon rolls, you can fill the dough with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, roll up and then slice into  1 1/2 inch pieces.  

​

Place these onto a greased cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap.  Sit in an area free of drafts to allow them to rise for approximately 1 hour.  When they have doubled in size, they are ready to bake.

​

Place inside a cold oven.  Turn the oven on and bake on 350 degrees until golden brown.
