Onion Crescent Rolls is a fantastic recipe I like to make for my family that is amazingly easy to prepare. So light and soft--like little fluffy pillows! I hope you'll take the time to try these and that you'll love them as much as we do!
To begin, gather your ingredients to that you have everything close at hand. Using a Chef’s knife and cutting board, mince the onion into small pieces.
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar. Add large eggs, beating well. Stir in the buttermilk, minced onion, kosher salt, instant yeast, and 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Mix until blended. Add enough flour to form a soft dough.
Using a dough hook, knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Or knead by hand, if you prefer.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 90 minutes.
Form the Crescent Rolls
Preheat oven to 400℉. Gently punch down dough, and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into two pieces and form into two balls.
Roll each ball into a 15" circle. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Roll up each wedge from wide end and place point side down on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Curve ends down to form crescent.
Cover and let rolls rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes.
Bake in preheated oven for 8-12 minutes until lightly browned.
Transfer crescent rolls from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Makes 16 rolls.
