Refrigerator Crescent Rolls
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 packages rapid rising yeast
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup butter/margarine
1/2 cup water
2 eggs
1 egg
Preheat oven to 375.
In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, granulated sugar, undissolved
yeast, and salt.
Heat milk, butter, and water until warm (105 to 115
degrees).
Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed,
scraping bowl occasionally.
Add 2 eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed.
With spoon, stir in enough remaining flour to make very stiff batter.
Grease top of dough; cover tightly with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate batter for 2 hours or up to 2 days.
Punch dough down; divide in half. On floured surface, roll each to 15
inch circle.
Cut each circle into 12 pie-shaped
wedges. Roll up wedges from wide ends. Curve to form crescents.
Place rolls (with points down) on greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise
until double in size.
Lightly beat remaining egg and brush on rolls.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until done.
Makes about 24 rolls.
