These come out just like the ones in the tube! Make your own and use it just like the refrigerated dough. It makes approximately the equivalent of two tubes of dough. I usually fill the crescents with fillers before baking/last rise. Options include extra spinach artichoke dip, leftover ham with cheese and cream cheese, or pepperoni, cheese, and pizza sauce. Baking times may vary, though. Use your imagination!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Do you think you always need to buy crescent rolls? This recipe walks through how to make crescent rolls at home. A bread machine, a few simple ingredients, and a bit of rising time are all you need. Once baked, they're fluffy and slightly flaky on the outside. Inside, they're soft and pillowy. With a slightly sweet flavor, enjoy these crescent rolls at breakfast, alongside a main meal, or stuffed with a bit of chicken salad or tuna salad.
