Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment, set aside.
Unroll the crescent rolls, and cut each triangle into 3 smaller triangles.
Wrap each little sausage, and place onto the parchment, about 10-11 inches apart forming a circle.
Fill in the circle with wrapped sausages, then start adding them into the middle to create a second ring.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the crescent dough is golden brown.
Allow them to cool, and if desired, decorate with rosemary, cheese stars, and cherry tomatoes.

Notes

Tips:

Wrap the crescent dough snugly around each sausage to help the wreath keep its shape while baking.
Arrange the pieces close together so they bake evenly and form a full wreath.
Brush the dough lightly with butter or egg wash for a golden finish, if desired.

Storage and Make Ahead Tips:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 300°F oven until warmed through for the best texture.
The wreath is best assembled and baked the same day, but you can prep decorations like rosemary, cheese stars, and cherry tomatoes ahead of time.
