Freezer Crescent Rolls

Ingredients

• 3 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup mashed potato flakes
• 2 eggs
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
• 6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the butter, milk powder, sugar, potato flakes, eggs, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
• Turn onto a heavily floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Divide dough in half. Roll each portion into a 12-in. circle; cut each circle into 16 wedges. Roll up wedges from the wide ends and place point side down 2 in. apart on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescents.
• Cover and freeze. When firm, transfer to a large resealable plastic freezer bag. Freeze for up to 4 weeks.
• To use frozen rolls: Arrange frozen rolls 2 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Cover and thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
• Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled. Bake at 350° for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 32 rolls.

*I took them out of the freezer 5 or so hours before I wanted to eat them, then baked them.  It worked out great and didn't take room in my refrigerator.
