Lori's Crescent Rolls

1 c. warm water
1 T. yeast
1 T. sugar

Disolve yeast in water, sprinkled with sugar to activate yeast.
Mix the following in large mixing bowl:

2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 c. melted butter
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt

Add yeast mixture when foamy. Then dump in 4 c. flour and Mix together well. Dough should be soft, yet not too sticky. Let rise until double, about 2 hours. Punch down and divide into 2 balls. Roll each out to about 1/4" thick circles. Spread with softened butter. Using a pizza cutter, cut each circle into 16 pie-shaped pieces. Starting at the wide end, roll up triangles to form crescent rolls. Place on greased baking sheet 1" apart with tips tucked underneath. Let rise again about 45 min.

Bake at 350 for about 15-20 min or until lightly golden. Remove and brush tops with butter.
