Warm 1/3 cup of water to 110-120 degrees Fahrenheit and mix with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.

Add yeast to the water and set aside until foamy (about 5 minutes).

Warm 2/3 cup of whole milk.

Measure out 1/2 cup (113 grams) of room temperature butter.

Add 4 teaspoons of sugar, 2/3 cup of warmed milk, and 1/2 cup of room temperature butter to the mixing bowl.

Add 2 eggs to the mixture.

Add 240 grams (2 cups) of flour in stages, mixing until well combined.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of kosher salt and mix again.

Switch to a dough hook and add remaining flour half a cup at a time, mixing for 15 minutes until dough forms a ball and pulls away from the bowl.

Add a little oil to a large bowl and place the dough in it to rise until doubled in size (about 45 minutes).

After rising, gently punch down the dough and divide it into two pieces.

Roll each piece into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.

Cut each circle into 12 pieces using a pizza cutter.

Roll each piece into crescents and place on a baking sheet with space between them.

Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

Brush with melted butter after baking.
