rolls This recipe was sent to us by Land O’Lakes farmer-owner Steve Meissner of Hickory Hill Farms.

How to make
-
STEP 1
Combine warm water and yeast in small bowl; let stand about 10 minutes or until foamy.

STEP 2
Melt 3/4 cup butter. Combine melted butter, 1 cup milk, sugar and salt in large bowl. Add yeast mixture. Stir in 2 cups flour and eggs. Stir in 1 cup additional flour.

STEP 3
Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to create soft dough. Knead 5-7 minutes or until smooth. Place dough in greased bowl; cover. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.

STEP 4
Divide dough into thirds. Roll each third into 10-inch circle on lightly floured surface. Spread each circle with 2 tablespoons remaining butter; cut each circle into 12 wedges. Roll up each wedge tightly from wide end to point, forming crescent. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet, curving dough slightly. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter; brush dough with melted butter. Cover; let rise in warm place 1 hour.
