Rich, golden crescent rolls - a Christmas tradition for many years

"They came out so light and fluffy - which is amazing, since my breads tend to come out tough and heavy. Mmmmmm loved the fresh baked out of the oven taste. Didn't need to let them rise for two hours, though, they were huge after just one hour. Would be very nice if the recipe included a bake temperature. I guessed and the tops got a little dark." - xena69

Notes

This recipe was a tradition at our home for many Christmases when I was growing up. It became misplaced for a number of years and resurfaced in 2004, just a year before my father died.

These are tasty and especially tasty warm. They are attractive. But the consistency of the bread leaves is firm. I've finally learned that if I want croissants I need to put in the work to make croissants.
