Thanks Dee! Maybe I'll try these this weekend to see how they turn out.

Cut 1 TB dough for each roll and form into a cressent shape.

This is the only think I don't understand..........most recipes have you roll a circle and cut into little pie slices. How would you do it this way I wonder? Do they just mean like a half circle?

I think they just mean break off about 1 TB worth of dough and roll it against the table with your hand like making a rope out of the dough (just wider) piece then shape it into a crescent shape.....thats my interpretation at least....

Also this recipe isnt going to be at all like the flaky rolls you get in the tubes, this sounds more like a doughy rolls that happens to be in a cressent shape.....I didnt realize that until I typed it out, I just noticed the name crescent rolls. So it might not be what you were looking for.

Yeah, I was looking for the kind in the tubes. LOL

I still may try these out but maybe make them a little bigger.........

Thanks for posting this. My dad made rohlickies or crescent rolls using his kolache dough, just didn't use any sugar. It's something I've wanted to attempt.
