Crescent Rolls

This weekend, I decided to recreate some crescent rolls that my Mom used to make for various family functions.  In spite of a few setbacks, I am pretty satisfied with the results.  Not only are the rolls pretty, but if you are serving them to a group of people, there is no need to deal with the mess of sliced bread.

Crescent Rolls

Prepare one recipe of Easy White Bread dough.  After the bulk dough is done rising, it is ready to shape into rolls. 

To make the rolls, divide the dough in half.  For one half, use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle.  Slice into eighths; then roll out each slice a little bit longer. Spray lightly with cooking spray, then starting at the wide end, roll up the slice into a crescent shape.  Place the rolls on a lightly greased cooking sheet and then mist the tops with cooking spray.  Repeat with the second half of the dough.

  Let rolls rise for 30 minutes.  Bake at 400 for 10 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake at 375 for 10 minutes more.  Cool on a wire rack.
