Melt 4 ounces of unsalted butter in the microwave.

Add 1 cup of whole milk (around 110°F) and 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt to the melted butter and stir together.

In a separate bowl, mix 5 cups of all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.

Add 1 packet of instant yeast to the dry ingredients and mix.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients together, using a spatula or spoon to incorporate.

Knead the dough for about 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with cling wrap or a dish towel and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.

Roll the dough out into a circle, not too thin, on a floured surface.

Cut the dough into wedges for crescent rolls.

Roll each wedge from the wide end to the point to form a crescent shape.

Place the rolls on a baking sheet and cover to let rise for another 20 minutes.

Mix 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of milk to brush on top of the rolls.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Bake the rolls for 16 to 18 minutes until golden brown, brushing with the egg mixture before baking.
