- Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a large circle and cut 12 equal 'pie' pieces. Roll dough triangles from the wide end into a crescent shape. Place rolls on a greased baking sheet.
- Cover rolls and let rise another 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Notes
*To scald the milk: Pour milk in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until warm and edges are slightly foamy. This happens right before the boiling stage, but don't let boil! Remove from heat and stand until lukewarm before using in the recipe.*
