1. Add yeast, sugar, warm milk, butter, egg, flour and salt to large mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment. Mix on low speed to combine ingredients, then mix on medium speed for 5 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 100F, then turn oven off. Transfer dough to lightly greased bowl. Cover. Place in warm oven for 30 minutes. You can alternatively allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 60 minutes.

3. Punch dough down. Divide into 2 balls. Roll each ball on a floured surface into a 10-inch circle. Using a pizza cutter, cut into 10 wedges, like you are slicing a pizza. Starting at wide edge, roll each crescent roll up into a crescent shape. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

4. Preheat oven to 100F, then turn oven off. Place covered, shaped crescent rolls in warm oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Alternatively, you can allow rolls to rise at room temperature for 30 minutes.

5. Preheat oven to 350F.

6. Brush crescent rolls with egg wash. Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

7. Enjoy as is, or brush melted butter over rolls just before serving.
