To help crescent rolls hold their shape, pinch the seams tightly after rolling and place them seam-side down on the baking sheet. You can also lightly brush the edge with a bit of water or beaten egg before pressing to help seal it. If the rolls still tend to pop open, chill them for 5–10 minutes before baking so the dough firms up slightly.
Use a light-colored baking sheet, which reflects heat more evenly and prevents the bottoms from browning too quickly. Bake the rolls on the middle oven rack and consider using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to create a gentle buffer between the dough and the pan. If your oven runs hot, lowering the temperature by 10–15°F can also help ensure even baking.
