Tips & Tricks

Recipe FAQs
Can I use homemade crescent roll dough?
You can use store bought refrigerated crescent roll dough or your own homemade dough for this recipe! I usually use Pillsbury original crescent rolls to save time!
What is the difference between puff pastry and crescent roll dough?
Both are types of laminated doughs. Crescent roll dough has yeast which makes them puff up as they bake. That’s the texture you want when you make these bunny rolls!
