Frozen Crescent Rolls
SUBMITTED BY:

"I've made lots of homemade bread, but this recipe is my favorite - and my family's favorite, too! I usually triple the recipe and make a batch of dough ahead for holidays. I use this recipe to make cinnamon rolls, too."

DIRECTIONS
Heat milk to 110 degrees F-115 degrees F. Add yeast; stir until dissolved. In large mixing bowl, cream sugar, shortening and salt. Add eggs; mix well. Add half the flour; then add milk mixture, mixing until flour is moistened. Add remaining flour by hand. Turn out dough onto floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Divide dough into 4 parts. Roll each into a circle and brush with melted butter. Cut each circle into 16 pie-shaped pieces. Roll each piece into a crescent, starting at wide end. Place on baking sheet and freeze immediately.
When frozen, place in plastic freezer bags and seal. Store in freezer until for up to 4 weeks. To bake, place on greased baking sheet and cover; let rise until doubled, about 3-4 hours. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes.

Very tasty. Thawed well and baked up golden and yeasty. The kids gobbled them up in a flash. Love the fact that you make a bunch and keep them in the freezer for that homemade taste. Infinitely better than Pilsbury! The only drawback is remembering to take them out 3-4 hours before you want them, but you can't have everything. They are worth the effort.

My new favorite roll recipe. I doubled the salt and was glad I did. Good rolls are made from notoriously sticky dough, and these rolls are no exception. Don't add extra flour if you want nice soft rolls. Some tips when working with sticky dough that have really helped me: Use a standing mixer to do all of the kneading so that you avoid the mess of handling the dough. Roll the dough on a floured piece of foil paper. This keeps the dough from sticking, with a minimum of added flour (so your dough stays tender), and it makes for very easy cleanup. A pizza cutter makes cutting the dough into crescents really easy. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I served these rolls for Christmas and they were wonderful...tasty and convenient. I like that they are made ahead of time and then set out the day of to rise and bake. How great is that? I also made cinnamon rolls with the basic recipe. Instead of rolling and cutting for crescent rolls, I rolled the dough into a rectangle, brushed with some melted butter and sprinkled brown sugar, cinnamon, a bit of nutmeg and raisins on the dough. I then rolled up from the long side (creating a log) and then cut the rolls from the log every inch or so. From there I just followed the rest of the recipe. Great! I will make again for Easter.

amazing!! my family can't get enough of them. very well done, but if you decide to freeze them, make sure you let them rise and then poke the air out of them. they get a little odd-textured if you don't. other wise, my new favorites!
