Ingredients
1 and 1/4cupWarm Water
4tspActive Dry Yeastor 3 tsp Instant Yeast
3tbspButtersoftened
2Eggs
1/3cupSugar
4 and 1/2cupsAll Purpose Flour
1tspSalt

Instructions
Combine water, yeast, 3 tbsp butter, eggs, sugar, salt, and 3 cups of flour in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix using dough hook on low until combined.
Continue mixing and gradually add last cup and a half of flour. Dough should pull away from sides of bowl (but not the bottom of the bowl if you are using a KitchenAid). Knead on medium for 5 more minutes.
Turn out dough onto floured surface and knead 2 or 3 times, pulling into a tight ball. Cover with kitchen towel and allow to rise until doubled, 60-90 minutes. (You can also place the dough in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap to rise.)
Turn dough onto floured surface and divide into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 12 inch circle. Spread 3 tbsp softened butter on each circle, then use a pizza cutter to slice each circle into 12 triangles.
Roll each triangle up from the wide side, creating a crescent shape. Place on greased 12x17 cookie sheet (jelly roll pan). Cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rise again about 45 minutes until noticeably puffed.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake at 350 15-20 minutes, until tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.
