Buttery Crescent Rolls

I got this from a Taste of Home recipe magazine and I like them.  They work great for chicken roll ups (recipe already posted)

1 pkg yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup warm milk
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 tsp salt
4 to 4 1/2 cup flour
additional butter, melted

Dissolve yeast in water (I add the sugar too).  Add milk, butter, egg, salt and 2 cups flour--beat on medium speed 2 minutes (I then let it sit and bubble for a while).  Stir in enough remaining flour for a soft dough.
Knead 6 to 8 minutes and place on greased surface (turn once).  Cover and let rise until double (about 1 hour). 
Punch down and divide in half.
Roll each portion into 12 inch circles and cut into 12 wedges.  Roll up  and place on cookie sheet, curve edges.  Cover, let rise til double (about 30 minutes)  Bake at 375 for about 12-14 minutes
Brush melted butter and remove to wire racks to cool.  (makes two dozen)
