A crescent roll is a type of buttery, flaky bread roll made from dough that’s rolled into a crescent shape before baking. The dough typically includes ingredients like flour, butter, milk, sugar, and yeast. Crescent rolls are known for their light, airy texture and golden, slightly crispy exterior.

You might recognize crescent rolls from brands like Pillsbury, which sells pre-made crescent roll dough in tubes that you can easily shape and bake at home. They’re versatile and can be enjoyed plain or stuffed with sweet or savory fillings like cheese, chocolate, or even hot dogs.
