crescent rolls

Curved breakfast bread

Crescent rolls are soft, flaky bread rolls shaped into curved crescents before baking.

In American usage, the term usually refers to the refrigerated dough sold in tubes that pops open when you twist it: I made crescent rolls for Thanksgiving dinner.

The shape echoes the French croissant, though the dough is typically simpler and less buttery.
