Crescent rolls are a popular type of bread in the United States, often served with holiday dinners or as a base for sandwiches. Soft crescent rolls are light, fluffy, and slightly sweet. The texture of a soft crescent roll is what sets it apart from other breads. The dough is enriched with butter, eggs, and sugar, which makes the rolls tender and slightly sweet. They are also less dense than a traditional dinner roll, which gives them a light and fluffy texture.
