Crescent Rolls -- Cheap and Easy.... sorry Dough Boy!

1 cup warm water

1 package of yeast or 1 heaping Tbsp.

2 eggs

¾ cup of oil

½ cup of sugar

1 tsp. of salt

4 cups of pastry flour

2 Tbsp. melted butter

Stir the yeast and about 2 tsp. of the measured sugar into the warm water and set aside for 5-10 minutes (the top should look foamy).  In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then add the oil, rest of the sugar, salt and the yeast mixture.   Mix in the flour, being careful not to overwork the dough (keeps the dough lighter and fluffier).

Cover and place in refrigerator overnight, or for 2-3 hours at room temperature.   On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough into a large circle to about ¼” thickness.  Brush with 1 Tbsp. of melted butter, then cut into 8 triangular slices.   Roll them up from the widest side ending at the point.  Repeat with second part of dough.

Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown.  Makes the equivalent of 2 cans of rolls.
