Buttery Crescent Rolls

Combine the milk, eggs, first measure of butter, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in your bread machine in the order recommended by the machine manufacturer. Select the dough cycle.

When the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine and place on a lightly floured surface. Punch the dough down, cover lightly with a towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

Divide the dough in half. Reflour the work surface if necessary.

Roll each dough half into a 12-inch circle. Brush each circle with the melted butter. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut each circle into 8 wedges.

Starting at the wide end of each wedge, roll the dough up towards the point. Place the rolls point side down on a greased baking sheet. Let rise, lightly covered, in a warm place for 30-40 minutes or until doubled in size.

While the dough is rising preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

When the dough has risen, uncover the rolls and place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8 minutes or until just golden brown. Remove the crescent rolls from the baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack.

Store the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature.
