Piggly Wiggly Original Crescent Rolls
What it is
These are pre-formed dough rolls that come in a refrigerated can. They are designed to be baked in your oven until golden brown and flaky. The dough is typically made with flour, leavening agents, and fat, creating a light and airy texture when cooked. They are a convenient way to enjoy freshly baked rolls without the effort of making dough from scratch. The can contains multiple rolls ready for immediate use.
How people cook with it

- Use in casseroles
- Create mini appetizers
- Enjoy with breakfast
Open the refrigerated can carefully, as the dough is under pressure. Unroll the dough sheet and separate the pre-scored triangles. Place the triangles onto a baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions until they are puffed up and have a golden-brown color. They are best served immediately after baking for optimal texture and flavor. You can also shape them into different forms or add toppings before baking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to biscuits, crescent rolls have a more delicate, layered texture due to the way the dough is rolled and folded. They also tend to be slightly sweeter and have a more buttery flavor profile. Their shape is distinctively a crescent, unlike the typically round biscuit.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to add freshly baked bread to their meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening the can, store any unused dough in an airtight container or wrap it tightly. Refrigerate the dough and use it within the recommended timeframe on the packaging, typically a few days, to maintain its freshness and baking quality.
