Crescents

 

This is a recipe for Crescents, not be confused with Croissants. The recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law. She makes crescents at Christmastime. I have adapted this recipe, utilizing the bread machine. 

Once the dough is made. You divide it into 3 equal portions. The dough is rolled into a circle, and cut into wedges, as you would slice a pizza. Each wedge is rolled, starting from the widest part, and ending at the point.

This is a great all-purpose soft dough. I use it for Cinnamon Rolls, Breads and Twists, Beerocks, Pigs In A Blanket and Calzone.
