Pillsbury Crescent Roll Recipes Ham

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 tbsp of the sugar in the warm water. Let sit until foamy - 10 minutes
• In a separate bowl, combine remaining sugar, salt and 3 cups flour. Using the paddle attachment, once yeast is foamy, stir in beaten eggs followed by shortening and butter. Next, add flour mixture using the dough hook. Turn out onto floured surface and slowly add the last cup of flour, kneading to achieve a smooth, elastic consistency. Be careful not to add too much flour. Use as little as possible - you may not need to add all the flour.
• Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top of the dough. Let rise in a warm place (85 degrees F) until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. ***TIP*** At this point if you want to use the dough for something other than crescents, such as other recipes using Pillsbury crescent dough, you can shape it as desired.
• To form crescents: When done rising, divide in half, rolling each half into a 12-inch circle 1/4 inch thick. Spread with the soft butter and cut each circle into 16 wedges. Roll up each wedge beginning at the largest end and place, point side down, on a greased baking sheet. Curve to form crescents. Cover and let rise until doubled, approximately 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until
• rich golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with butter.
• **You can do this recipe by hand, although I find a stand mixer to be much quicker.

Steps:

• In large bowl dissolve yeast in warm water with the honey to proof.
• Stir sugar, salt, eggs, lard and 1/2 flour into yeast mixture; add remaining flour and blend till smooth.
• Cover with wet towel in warm place till doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Divide dough in half and roll each into 12 inch circle, 1/4 inch thick.
• Spread with butter and cut into 16 wedges.
• Roll up each wedge beginning at the largest end.
• Put on baking sheet.
• Cover until double, about 1 hour.
• Bake at 400° for 12 to 15 minutes (watch the bottoms as they burn).
• Brush with butter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
• Combine 2 Tbsp of the sugar and the lemon zest in a small bowl and set aside.
• Sprinkle some of the remaining sugar onto a work surface, enough to dust the area well.
• Open the dough tube and separate the dough into two rectangular pieces (pressing together any of the triangular perforations so that you have two flat separate rectangles).
• Roll out each rectangle separately onto the sugared surface to even out the dough.
• Using a pastry brush, paint the beaten egg across both pieces of dough.
• If needed, you may use an additional egg white.
• Sprinkle the sugar/lemon zest mixture you made earlier evenly over each rectangle.
• Starting with one rectangle of dough, roll up the left and right longest sides of the rectangle (jelly-roll stye) into the center, meeting at the center.
• With a sharp knife, cut small slices (about 1/4" thick) from the short edge; the cut pieces of dough, when placed flat, should look like almost like a bowtie- with two coils at either side.
• Place cut side down, so they lie flat, onto greased cookie sheets.
• Sprinkle lightly with some remaining sugar.
• Bake in a preheated 375 F oven for 8-11 minutes or until golden brown.
• Cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheets.
• Set on racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
• Separate dough into 4 rectangles; place on lightly floured surface.
• Firmly press perforations to seal.
• Press or roll each to form 8x5-inch rectangle.
• Arrange 1/4 of prosciutto slices evenly over each rectangle.
• In small bowl, combine cheese, pepper and oil; mix well.
• Sprinkle mixture evenly over prosciutto on each rectangle.
• Sprinkle with basil.
• Starting at short side of each rectangle, roll up; seal long edges.
• With serrated knife, cut each roll into 5 slices.
• Place, cut side up, on sprayed cookie sheets.
• Bake at 375 degrees F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from cookie sheets. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F Separate dough into 8 triangles. Place 1 piece of ham on each triangle; place 2 strips of cheese down center of ham. Fold in edges of ham to match shape of dough triangle.
• Roll up each crescent, ending at tip of triangle. Place with tips down on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 15 to 19 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
