Yes, crescent rolls can be used as a substitute for puff pastry. To do so, separate each roll into individual triangles and place them on top of one another to create a single square sheet.
Brush the top of the square with egg wash or melted butter, then fold it in half. Roll the dough out gently to create a rectangular shape about ¼ inch thick. Cut into desired shapes and bake according to recipe instructions.
Storage, Freezing and Reheating Tips
Refrigerator: To store any leftovers, place them in an airtight container or wrap them in plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator and they can be kept for up to three days.
Freezer: I do not recommend freezing baked crescent rolls with Nutella. The crescent roll dough may become slightly soggy upon thawing and reheating, losing some of its flaky texture. And the Nutella can also become a bit grainy after being frozen and thawed.
Reheating: You can easily reheat any leftovers in the microwave for just a few seconds.
