Title: Butterhorn Rolls
Ingredients:
– 1 package (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
– 1/4 cup warm water (110°F)
– 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 large egg
– 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup melted butter (for brushing)
– Additional flour for dusting
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, softened butter, sugar, salt, egg, and 2 cups of flour. Mix well until smooth.
3. Add the yeast mixture and gradually mix in the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions.
7. Working with one portion at a time, roll out the dough into a circle. Brush with melted butter.
8. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the circle into 12 wedges.
9. Starting from the wide end, roll each wedge towards the point to shape into a crescent.
10. Place the rolled Butterhorn Rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
11. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
12. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
13. Bake the rolls for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown.
14. Remove from the oven and brush the warm Butterhorn Rolls with additional melted butter.
15. Let them cool slightly before serving.
