    Desserts made with Pillsbury refrigerator crescent rolls.

    Let me help you transform that pack of refrigerator dough at the back of your refrigerator into something delicious with this collection of crescent roll desserts.

    Crescent roll dough is a type of pre-made pastry dough that is often used for making croissants, blueberry turnovers, and other sweet or savory dishes like my crescent roll ham and cheese bake. The dough is made from flour, water, butter, sugar, and yeast, and it typically comes in a can or tube.

    While crescent roll dough is convenient for busy cooks, it can also be used to make a variety of other dishes. For example, the dough can be formed into individual rolls and topped with cinnamon and sugar. It can also be used to make pizza crust, calzones, or even baked chicken pot pie.

    With a little imagination, the possibilities are endless. So next time you're at the grocery store, pick up a can of crescent roll dough and get creative in the kitchen.

    Can I use Pillsbury crescent rolls for puff pastry?

    Pillsbury crescent rolls can be used as a quick and easy substitute for puff pastry. While the texture will not be quite the same, the crescent rolls will still create a flaky and light crust.

    For best results, roll out the crescent rolls into a large rectangle before using them to line a pie dish or tart pan. Be sure to press the seams together well so that they do not come apart during baking. Once filled and baked, the crescent rolls will puff up slightly, creating a delicious and impressive pastry.

    Tips for Baking with Crescent Rolls

    Crescent roll dough is a versatile ingredient that can be used in all sorts of recipes. Here are some tips for using it:

    • When baking crescent rolls, brush the dough with an egg wash before baking to help them brown.
    • To make cream puffs, fill crescent rolls with whipped cream or custard and bake until golden brown.
    • Crescent rolls can also be filled with savory ingredients like chicken and broccoli for a quick and easy dinner.
    • Try using crescent rolls to make mini pizzas by topping them with sauce and your favorite toppings.

    With these tips, you can use crescent roll dough to create all sorts of delicious recipes. So get creative and see what you can come up with!
