Recipe: Crescent Rolls (using egg yolk, bread machine dough cycle)

CRESCENT ROLLS

2 cups bread flour
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 tbsp milk
1 egg yolk plus water to measure 3/4 cup
1 tsp active dry yeast
Butter or margarine, melted, divided use

Place ingredients, except melted butter, in bread machine in order listed; let stand 5 minutes.

Use DOUGH setting; press START. Dough will be completed in 1 hour 15 minutes.

Remove dough from inner pot and place in greased bowl, turning to coat evenly. Cover and let rest in warm, draft-free place, 20-30 minutes.

Punch down dough. On floured surface, roll dough to 10-inch round; brush with melted butter. Cut into 10 wedges. Roll up each wedge, starting at wide end; press points. Place, point-side down, on greased baking sheet and shape into crescents. Brush with remaining butter. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place, 20-30 minutes.

Bake in 375 degree F oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
