Refrigerated crescent dough does the heavy lifting
The structural foundation of this recipe is two cans of refrigerated crescent roll dough — eight rolls each — which replace the need for homemade puff pastry or any complicated dough work. When the dough hits oven heat, moisture trapped between its layers turns to steam, producing a light, flaky, risen crust without any extra technique.
