Recipe Notes
- When it comes to refrigerator dough, less is more. Don't work the dough too much or it might become tough.
- Keep the dough refrigerated until you are ready to use it. This will help the dough stay firm and prevent it from getting too sticky.
- You can add anything from cheese and bacon to chocolate and nuts. Make sure that the ingredients are evenly distributed so that the rolls bake evenly.
- For a shiny, golden brown finish, brush the crescent rolls with a beaten egg mixed with a tablespoon of water before baking.

To prevent crescent rolls from sticking to the baking sheet, you can use a non-stick surface like a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Bake bacon in a preheated 400°F oven on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 15 minutes or until crispy. Once the bacon is cooked, allow it to cool on a paper towel-lined plate before crumbling and adding to crescent rolls.
