⁉️ FAQ
Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
No. Crescent dough is a yeasted dough, while puff pastry is a laminated dough made with alternating thin sheets of dough and butter that creates its light, flaky texture.
We recommend string cheese to allow both the crescent to hold its shape and to keep the cheese in place.
Place the crescent rolls on a baking sheet and cook for 3 minutes at 375 degrees until warm.
