FAQ – Crescent Rolls Recipes

What’s Crescent Dough?

The recipes featured on this page use a readymade crescent dough manufactured by the Pillsbury company in the United States. Crescent roll dough is made with flour, butter and yeast.

The dough is rolled and folded several times, to create layers, these layers help the dough rise and puff when cooked. When baked the outside of the dough becomes crisp and flaky and is soft on the inside, similar to a croissant.

The dough can be purchased in a tube and sheet form. However, this product is not available worldwide.

Can I Use Puff Pastry Instead Of Crescent Rolls?

If you can’t buy crescent roll dough you could make your own croissant dough or use puff pastry. Puff pastry is not the same as croissant dough, it’s made without yeast and has many more layers. It does become light and flaky, but it won’t puff up as much. Both of these doughs can be time consuming to make.

Another alternative is to try my crescent roll dough recipe – it’s a light and soft dough and easy to make. It’s not flaky but it’s a versatile dough that can be used for both sweet and savoury recipes. One quarter of my crescent roll dough recipe is about the same as one 18-ounce tube of purchased crescent dough.
