Crescent Dinner Rolls

Crescent Dinner Rolls (aka Butterhorn Rolls, Sweet Dinner Rolls)

Crescent dinner rolls are a staple to an evening meal. The perfect appetizer and accompaniment to a meal, it is both sweet and light yet buttery and filling. I love making any type of pastry or bread from scratch, but it is definitely one of the more challenging types of food to make. Nevertheless, I love bread and decided to take on the task. It's similar to croissants except it does not have the flaky texture, which takes a lot longer to achieve. These dinner rolls are the next best thing to the Vienna-style pastry. You can eat them alone or dunk them in butter, which I highly recommend the latter. :)
