Crescent Roll Dough
Crescent roll dough is a convenient and versatile pre-made dough that bakes into flaky, buttery, crescent-shaped rolls. This ready-to-bake dough is known for its soft, airy texture and rich, slightly sweet flavor. The dough typically comes in a rolled sheet, perforated into triangles for easy separation and rolling. When baked, crescent roll dough develops a golden-brown color and a delightful aroma, making it a family-friendly favorite for breakfast, snacks, and even savory dishes. Many love it because store bought crescent roll dough is easy to work with, saving time and effort in the kitchen.

Storage Tips
Crescent roll dough must be refrigerated at all times to prevent spoilage and premature rising. Keep the unopened package in the refrigerator until ready to use, and always check the expiration date. Once opened, use immediately, or tightly wrap any unused portion and refrigerate for no more than a day or two. Freezing is not generally recommended as it can affect the dough's texture and rise.
