Prepare buttery crescent rolls ahead and refrigerate up to 2 weeks for fresh rolls anytime. Let rise overnight before baking.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (0.6 ounce) cake compressed fresh yeast
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 5.5 cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
  • Break the compressed yeast into a small bowl, and stir in 2 teaspoons of sugar. Set aside. Warm milk in a saucepan until a skin forms on top. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of sugar, and hot milk. Stir until butter is melted. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in the yeast mixture. Mix in 3 cups of flour until well combined. Gradually add the remaining flour until the dough forms (it will be sticky). Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Once the dough has doubled in size, gently press down in the center, cover, and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Divide the dough into four parts and keep the remainder chilled. Roll out one piece into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of butter over it and cut into 8 wedges like a pizza. Roll each wedge from wide to point, shape into crescents, place on a greased sheet, then let rise in a warm spot under a towel until doubled, roughly 2 hours due to the cold dough.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake until golden, approximately 15 minutes.
