  • Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a large circle and cut 12 equal 'pie' pieces. Roll dough triangles from the wide end into a crescent shape. Place rolls on a greased baking sheet.
  • Cover rolls and let rise another 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • Bake rolls at 375° F. for 14 to 15 minutes, or until golden-brown. Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter.
