Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in lukewarm water. Blend well, then add hot roll mix to make a soft, but not sticky, dough.
- Knead about 5 minutes until dough is smooth. Lightly butter the bowl.
- Place dough in the bowl and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Generously grease a baking sheet.
- Punch down the dough. Divide it in half.
- Let the halves stand for 10 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each half to a 12-inch circle.
- Brush each circle with 1 tablespoon softened butter or margarine.
- Cut each circle into 16 pie-shaped wedges. Roll up each wedge from the wide end.
- Place the rolled wedges pointed side down in a crescent shape on the prepared baking sheets.
- Cover and let rise again until doubled in bulk, about 45 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using melted butter instead of vegetable oil or margarine. If you don’t have hot roll mix, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Ensure your dough is not sticky by adjusting the flour as needed during kneading. For a delightful addition, sprinkle some garlic powder or dried herbs on the butter before rolling the dough.
Serving Suggestions
These buttery crescent rolls are perfect as a side for any meal and pair beautifully with Quick Baked Macaroni And Cheese. Serve them warm with honey or jam for breakfast or brunch. They can also complement savory dishes like Corn-Squash Bake or be enjoyed as a snack with soups and salads.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover crescent rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

To reheat, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and let it rise, then refrigerate it overnight. Just allow it to come to room temperature and rise again before shaping and baking. This method enhances the flavor and makes it convenient for busy schedules.
What if I don’t have active dry yeast?
You can substitute with instant yeast without altering the amount. Instant yeast can be mixed directly with the dry ingredients, skipping the activation step. This can save time and streamline the process.
How can I tell if my rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are a deep golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also use a thermometer to check; they should reach an internal temperature of about 190°F (88°C).
