Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

To keep rolls warm until serving, place in a serving basket; loosely cover with foil. Crescent Rolls can be shaped and placed on cookie sheets up to 2 hours before baking.

To keep the crispiness of your croissant, use a paper bag and leave it partially open to let the croissants breathe. Another option is to use perforated cardboard boxes or plastic clamshells. Also, avoid stacking the croissants so that they do not get crushed.

Carefully slice your croissants in half lengthways and lay in a slice of gouda. If it's too big, just slice it in half. Don't worry if it pokes out a bit, it all adds to the appeal!

Open the can of crescent rolls and roll out the dough. Spread the butter evenly on top.

Help, butter leaks out when baking!

When under-proofed the butter tends to leak out from in between the layers and you end up with a butter puddle.

COOK 5 minutes. Remove basket. Use tongs to turn over rolls. COOK an additional 4 minutes, or until crescents are golden brown and cooked through.

Storing: Baked croissants keep, unwrapped at room temperature, for 1 day. For longer storage, wrap each croissant in plastic wrap and slip into a resealable plastic freezer bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.

You can make a weeks worth of filled croissants and freeze them for fast lunchboxes! Just pop the croissants into a lunchbox straight from the freezer and they will defrost perfectly by lunch time.
