| This is how you should combine two crescent triangles to from a dough rectangle |
I’ve always wanted to make my own homemade cinnamon rolls but after I looked up a food recipes, I realized the making your own dough (waiting for yeast to rise etc) can be very labor intensive and I don’t have that much time or patience. I came up with this quick and delicious substitution for my readers who, like me, love cinnamon rolls but all the hard work. I made the rolls right before I left for Napa so that my boyfriend would have some snacks this weekend.
Ingredients
2 Packets of Crescent Rolls (I used Pillsbury Brand)
½ cup Chocolate chips
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup raisins
Prep Time: 10-15 mins Bake Time: According to Package Oven Temp: 350 F
1. Melt the butter and chocolate over in a pan over low heat OR melt in microwave at a medium setting. High power will char the chocolate instead of melt it to a spreadable consistency. You can also use Nutella if you do not want to bother with melting the chocolate and butter.
2. Open crescent roll Packages. When you remove the dough roll, carefully unroll it into a flat sheet. The sheet will look like a large rectangle with perforated lines that form triangles. Separate each of the triangles.
3. Take two triangles and line up the longest triangle sides to form a long rectangle. Overlap Edges slightly and press down so the dough has no wholes along the joining line. Continue this process with remaining triangles.
4. Spread melted chocolate on dough rectangles and sprinkle with cinnamon, raisins, and walnuts. Repeat until all rectangles have filling on one side.
5. Fold each rectangle in half long ways to form long dough strips. Roll each strip and place in cupcake tin (spray tin beforehand with Pam to avoid sticking).
6. Bake until browned on top, approximately 25-30 minutes. Bake time can vary depending on the brand of crescent rolls you use.
Hope you enjoy!!
