HOW TO MAKE YOUR STUFFED CRESCENT ROLLS
These string cheese stuffed crescent rolls require a different rolling technique than your average, run-of-the-mill crescent rolls. To keep all of that ooey-gooey, cheesy, stringy, tasty goodness inside the roll, you'll want to fold the dough just as you normally would, then carefully tuck in each little crescent tip! Yep, that’s it!
After you fold your rolls, skip the parchment paper and line your baking sheet with one of these silicone baking mats to prevent sticking. Bonus—these make cleaning up a breeze!
FREEZING YOUR STUFFED ROLLS
Made more than you can eat? Throw those rolls in a freezer ziplock bag, press out all the air and they are freezer ready! Don't have ziplock bags? Popping them in a freezer safe container with a lid also works! Mark the date with a sharpie and you’re all set.
When you’re ready to eat, thaw in the fridge or microwave then reheat in the microwave or oven until the rolls are warm and the cheese is melted. Gobble these stuffed crescent rolls up within a month to keep them tasting their very best! Somehow we don’t see them lasting that long, though!
