What is crescent sheet dough?

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Split the crescent rolls into triangles after opening the can. While you open the can of blueberry pie filling, lay them flat on a piece of parchment paper.
Step 2: Top each crescent roll triangle with a generous tablespoon of mixture. Be cautious not to spread the mixture too near to the crescent roll's edge when you do so.
How to Roll Up Crescent Rolls
Step 3: Beginning at the larger end, start rolling up the crescent rolls. Try your best to pinch and tuck the ends together so the blueberry filling doesn't seep out while baking. A little should be okay like I have here.
Step 4: Place the crescent rolls on a baking tray that's been lined with parchment paper.
How Long to Bake Crescent Rolls
Step 5: Bake in a 375°F degree preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Set them aside for a few minutes to cool while you prepare the glaze.
Step 6: Combine the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl. Drizzle on top of the slightly cooled crescent rolls.

Can you use strawberry. Jam
Lois says
Yes, but be careful not to add too much or it will leak out while baking. The blueberry pie filling is much thicker than jam. Thank you for visiting.
Catherine Miller says
