Instructions
Prep Baking Sheet:
Spray standard-sized baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray set aside.
Make Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together yeast and water until dissolved.
Mix in sugar, eggs, butter, shortening, and salt until combined.
Add 2 cups flour and use a handheld mixer to beat until smooth.
Add enough remaining flour to form a slightly sticky, soft dough.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead until elastic and smooth, about 8 minutes.
Rise Dough:
Lightly spray a large, clean mixing bowl with nonstick cooking spray.
Place dough in a bowl, and lightly spray the top with cooking spray.
Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in a warm place, about 90 minutes.
Shape Rolls:
Deflate the dough by punching it down, and divide it into two dough balls.
Roll out each dough ball into a 12-inch circle, brush each with one tablespoon of melted butter, and cut into 12 wedges.
Roll wedges from the wide end and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet, point-side down.
Curve the ends to form crescents.
Cover the baking sheet loosely with greased plastic wrap, and rise until it is doubled, about 45-60 minutes.
Preheat Oven:
After 30 minutes of rising, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Bake and Cool:
Bake for 9-12 minutes or until deliciously golden.
Brush with additional butter if desired.
Let the rolls cool for at least 10 minutes, and serve.
