    Easy crescent roll recipes, these simple stuffed bread recipes are quick to make, and you have plenty to choose from appetizers, dinners, and desserts. Check them out now!

    What’s Crescent Dough?

    The crescent roll recipes featured on this page use a readymade crescent dough manufactured by the Pillsbury company in the United States. 

    Crescent roll dough is a flour-based dough made with butter and yeast. 

    The dough is thinly rolled, spread with butter, and folded over several times. 

    In the United States, you can buy crescent roll dough in a tube and sheet form. However, it is available everywhere in the world.

    When baked, the dough becomes crisp and flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. 

    Can I Use Puff Pastry Instead Of Crescent Rolls?

    If you can’t buy Pillsbury crescent rolls dough, you could make croissant dough or use puff pastry. 

    Puff pastry is not the same as croissant dough. Puff pastry is made without yeast and has many more layers.

    Puff pastry does become light and flaky, but it won’t puff up as much as croissant dough. Making puff pastry and croissants can be time-consuming to make.

    Another alternative is to use my crescent roll dough recipe – it’s a light and soft dough and easy to make. 

    This versatile bread is soft and delicious and works for both sweet and savory recipes.

    One-quarter (300 grams) of my crescent roll dough recipe is just a little more than one 8-ounce tube of purchased crescent dough.
