Crescent Roll Dough

Sprinkle yeast over warm water; let sit 5–10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, stir together 3 cups flour, sugar, and salt. Using a mixer with a dough hook, combine all the ingredients together. Add up to 1 more cup of flour, as needed to make a soft, workable dough.

Divide into 3 or 4 balls, and using extra flour, roll out to the desired shape. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge in an airtight container up to 5 days. One recipe makes as much dough as 3 or 4 cans of Pillsbury crescents.
