Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a fragrant herb butter mixture.
- Open the crescent roll dough package and carefully unroll the dough onto a clean, flat surface. Separate the dough into individual triangle sections.
- Using a pastry brush, generously spread the garlic herb butter mixture over each crescent dough triangle, ensuring even coverage.
- Starting from the wide end of each triangle, gently roll the dough towards the pointed end, creating a classic crescent shape. Make sure to tuck the pointed end underneath the roll.
- Place the rolled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for expansion during baking.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with any remaining garlic herb butter for extra flavor and a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a serving plate.
- Serve warm and enjoy the aromatic, buttery garlic herb crescent rolls as a delightful side dish or appetizer.
Tips
- Fresh Ingredients: For an even more robust flavor, consider using fresh garlic and herbs instead of dried. Fresh ingredients can elevate the taste of your rolls significantly.
- Customize Your Herbs: Feel free to experiment with different herbs based on your preference. Thyme, rosemary, or parsley can add a unique twist to your garlic herb butter.
- Don’t Rush the Rolling: Take your time when rolling the dough. Ensuring a tight roll will help the crescent shape hold and create a fluffier texture.
- Perfectly Baked: Keep an eye on the rolls as they bake. Ovens can vary, so check for that golden-brown color and puffy texture around the 10-minute mark.
- Serve Warm: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. If you have leftovers, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their fluffy texture.
- Pairing Suggestions: These rolls make a fantastic side for soups, salads, or pasta dishes. Consider serving them with a side of marinara or garlic dipping sauce for added flavor!
