I’ve actually already had Thanksgiving in my house… sort of. I spent a couple of days last weekend preparing all kinds of Thanksgiving side dishes, threw a couple of turkey breasts in the crockpot, and then got to work making these homemade Crescent Dinner Rolls. I’ve saved this recipe from Taste of Home for a long while. It was high time I finally made them!
How to make Crescent Dinner Rolls:
The dough is pretty simple to work with. You can use a stand mixer and have it do the mixing and kneading for you, or you can certainly do it the old-fashioned way- stirring with a strong wooden spoon and putting all of your strength and oomph into kneading the dough by hand. I let the dough sit by my fireplace to rise.
After rising, the dough gets a little punch-down action.
Then it’s divided into three equal pieces.
Each piece is rolled into a circle. You will be surprised how easy this dough is to roll out. Not even a hint of being sticky or anything! Cut into wedges, brush with butter, and roll up!
Set them seam-side down on a baking sheet. BAKE!
They come out nice and tender and pull-apart delicious. If you want to make them ahead of your busy dinner serving time, just wrap them in foil and heat them a little bit in the oven to warm them up. I ended up preparing so much food last weekend that we ended up inviting our neighbor and his two teenage daughters over for dinner. We had a festive feast, and they were eager taste testers for all of my food. I LOVE THAT! So… will you be making homemade rolls for Thanksgiving?
