Equipment

  • 2 large bowls
  • 1 knife
  • 1 large spoon
  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 pastry brush
  • 4 baking sheets
  • 4 towels

Ingredients 

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup cold butter, cubed or shortening
  • 1 pkg (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • ¾ cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1 large egg room temperature, lightly beaten
  • 4 Tbsps butter, melted, and divided

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In another bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water: add to the crumbs mixture. Add milk, and the egg and mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. On a slightly floured surface, (I use a large wooden cutting board but optional), roll 1 portion out into a 12 inch circle. Brush with 1 Tbsp melted butter: then cut it into 12 wedges.
  • Roll up dough, beginning with the wide end. Now place each of them on a greased baking sheet. Repeat this process with all the remaining dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 375° for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer them to wire racks to cool.
