Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the yeast, warm water, and granulated sugar. Stir gently to dissolve the yeast, and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
2
Add the salt, melted butter, and eggs to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3
Gradually add the flour to the bowl, one cup at a time, until a smooth, elastic dough forms. You may not need all of the flour, so add it gradually and be prepared to stop adding flour when the dough feels right.
4
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
5
Roll the dough out into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush the dough with a little bit of melted butter, then sprinkle with granulated sugar.
6
Cut the dough into 8-10 wedges, depending on how large you want your rolls to be. Roll each wedge into a tight crescent shape, starting from the wide end and working your way towards the pointy end.
7
Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch of space between each roll. Cover the rolls with a clean towel and let them rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until they have doubled in size.
8
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
