Directions
Add 2-1/2 cups flour, warm milk, salt, and 1 tablespoon butter to yeast mixture. Beat with an electric mixer, fitted with a dough hook, on low until combined. Add 1 egg and remaining 1/2 cup flour. Beat on low 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Shape dough into a ball. Place in greased bowl; turn over to grease surface. Cover; let stand 15 minutes.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll to a 15x12-inch rectangle. Spread with 3 tablespoons butter to within 1-inch of edges. Fold dough into thirds, overlapping, to form a 5x12-inch rectangle. Next, fold the dough in half to form a 5x6-inch rectangle. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and freeze for 10 minutes.
Repeat rolling dough to a 14x12-inch rectangle, spreading with 3 tablespoons butter and folding and freezing two more times.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Unwrap dough; cut in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion to a 10-inch square; cut into four 5-inch squares, then cut each square diagonally in half to make 8 triangles. Starting at the wide edge of each triangle, roll up toward the point. Place on prepared baking sheets. Repeat forming 8 more rolls with remaining dough. Cover; let rise in a warm place for 40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk remaining egg; brush on tops of rolls. Bake 14 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
