Crescent Roll Recipe

I'll try again:

Crescent Rolls

1/2 stick butter ( 1/4c) room temp.

3/4 c. small curd cottage cheese

1 c. gluten-free flour mix ( rice,potato starch,tapicoa )

1 tsp. xanthan gum

1/8 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 TBSP sugar

In mixer bowl combine butter & cottage cheese until well blended. Add dry ingredients. Mix until a ball forms.

Wrap in plastic wrap & chill for several hours.

On a lightly floured parchment paper, roll dough into a 14 inch circle. Cut into 8 triangles ( make sure to roll thin), Pizza cutter works well for cutting...

Roll each triangle from wide end to tip. Turn ends to make a crescent shape. Bake 350 for approx 20 to 30 min..

sorry for the first post but it is correct now. Yea, flour does help!!!!!!!!!!!

Mamaw, I just wanted to say that this is possibly my favorite recipe! It is SOOOOOO versatile. Its also really easy to double and triple. Out of one tripled batch I can make pizza crusts (delicious and tastes very similar to Pizza Hut's pan pizza without all the grease), crescent rolls, turnovers, and still have enough left to make a cinnamon bun. I LOVE THIS RECIPE! THANK YOU! The dough also stays nice in the fridge for days. I think I've left it in there for up to 4 days and have never had a problem. :)

This looks easy.... I no longer do much baking but might be willing to give this a try. Can you make up the pizza crusts, bake them with no toppings and freeze them for later use? Just curious... if you have never tried to do this, I may still give it a try and see if they can be frozen after being baked.

I think I would try freezing the dough, thaw, top, and bake. OR bake, freeze, top, reheat without thawing. Maybe I'll try both ways................

I haven't tried freezing, but I can tell you that I bake them first without toppings until lightly browned, then put toppings and sauce on to finish. I imagine you could freeze it after the first bake.

Hi Angie

I agree this is a terrific recipe. I also make hot pockets using a similar recipe.

2 c. betterbatter flour

1 tsp. salt

1 c. unsalted butter

4 tbsp cream cheese

8 tbsp. ice water.

combine flour, salt , butter, cream cheese in a food processor. Process until coarse crumbs form. ( I don't have a food processor so I just used my hands)

With processor running add ice water & process to form a dough. Turn out onto a floured board & press into a ball.

Divide dough in half, wrap tightly in plastic wrap & refridgerate at least a half hour.

Roll out to desire thickness.

Put a filling of your choice & roll or make shapes & seal them. I baked them for about 15 min or so at 350 degrees.

For filling I made several different ones. I used sandwich pepperoni, hard salami, & provolone cheese. I made some with peanut butter & jelly ( made these round so they looked like the clones). I did meat pasties, I did pizza sauce , green peppers, onions, mushrooms, & pepperoni & cooked drained sausage. These work great for school lunches.

Both these recipes originally came from Naomi Poe from betterbatter flour.

If you haven't tried her flour blend it is a one to one sub for wheat recipes. It is worth the price......

Regarding small curd cottage cheese. I tried a recipe using this recipe and couldn't get the curds to blend. There were yellow spots in my muffins. I'm wondering if one could use ricotta cheese instead? I love the ricotta cheese muffin recipe.

I made those last night too! Here's a picture. My Husband thinks I am weird because I am always taking pictures of our food. :lol:

The recipe is originally from Open Original Shared Link modified from the Open Original Shared Link. Has anyone tried any of their other recipes? Some of them look really good.

I think ricotta would work just fine. There is a recipe on the Open Original Shared Linkthat uses ricotta, with all other recipe components being the same. I don't end up with lumps in my cottage cheese, but I do let my Kitchenaid whip the butter and cottage cheese for quite a while.

Can white rice flour be used in the gluten-free flour mix or do you use brown rice?

Yelloe Rose,

White rice four will work.

Larry Mac,

Ricotta works fine.

If you go onto betterbatter site there are clones for Krispy Kreme Donuts, soft pretzels, & loads more excellent recipes. The flour blend does just about anything one could hope for>>>>>>

I have also in the past used nut filling or fruit fillings & roll up the crossiants.

enjoy

I just wanted to add that this recipe makes THE BEST hamburger rolls that I've had since going gluten free. They were super easy to make also. I made three hamburger rolls and two personal sized pizzas out of a double batch (could have made 4 rolls and no pizzas). They are reminiscent of a kaiser roll (kind of). Very tasty! They don't quite seem done in the center when cut, but they definitely taste done and there's nothing in them that can't be eaten raw, so... I highly recommend trying them as hamburger buns. :)

Hi Angie

Did you just make a ball & flatten it a bit for the hamburger bun? Did you bake it any longer?

Have you tried Against The Grain rolls yet? They are soooo good for burgers, sloppy joe's, cold cuts & more...

I'm getting picky! I have Everybody Eats ficeille crusty rolls for pasta, ATG for sandwiches, gluten-free GreatBakes for Bagels & Eng. muffins, Anna's bread mix, & a batter bread (scratch) from gluten-free Living!!!! Plus Betterbatter flour!

Try the hot pockets , they are a winner at our house!!!

Yeah, I just made a big old dough ball, about the size of a thin hamburger roll and flattened it. It didn't rise a whole lot, but enough to cut in half. They were amazing! Very filling though, probably due to the cottage cheese and all that butter in the rolls. :) I really have no idea how long I baked them for. I just kept checking on them every few minutes until they were brown and crusty looking on top. ??? Maybe 25-35 minutes? I'm really not sure. I did bake them at the temp the recipe calls for if that helps.

I try not to buy the premade stuff just because of cost. That stuff is just so darn expensive. I don't think I've tried anything Grainless Baker. No one around here carries anything made by them and I try not to order stuff online because of shipping. I wish I had a Whole Foods or Wegmans really close by.

So far, that recipe you posted is probably my favorite. It is SO versatile! I can make pretty much anything with it that's supposed to be soft and bready. I even made pizza rolls (reminded me of Totino's, but not the same at all). I chopped up pepperoni and added mozzerella, parmesean, italian seasoning, and garlic then formed them into little biscuits and baked. They were SOOOOO good, the perfect snack food. :) I have the feeling that recipe might also make good soft pretzels, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm not sure how it will fair through boiling. I guess maybe one of these days I'll have to try it.

Anyway, my thanks goes out to you for the recipe. I never, ever would have thought to use cottage cheese in bread. :)

Hey Angie

Soft pretzels are on Naomi's site. SHe has the Auntie Anne's clone & another one. Her site is very good & informative as well. Do you belong to a support group? I know Naomi sells flour at the Lancaster group. I can't remember exactly where you are located....I had her at our group & everyone loved her..... She's only 30 & lots of fun, & knowledge....& owns a business to boot!!!!!

I live about 20 minutes outside of Lancaster city. I don't belong to a support group, mostly because I'm very awkward around people. I get anxious in new settings also, so I haven't joined one. (can you say asperger's? lol)

What is Naomi's site??? I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO miss Auntie Anne's pretzels! I would do almost anything to have an exact replica. Any chance anyone knows how to duplicate their delicious sweet mustard?

Posting to an old thread, is that ok? Thank you for this recipe! Before my flare-up recently, I made a fantastic cheese danish using store bought crescent rolls. I'm craving it again! So glad I found this through the search field.

This is absolutely great and an easy recipe to follow. I use better batter

and this dough lasts in the fridge for a week. I can just pull it out and use it to make crescent rolls, calzones etc.

That would relate to secondary adrenal insufficiency I think , ie AI caused by steroids such as taken long term for eg asthma. I have primary autoimmune AI, my adrenals are atrophied, no chance if recovery there. But I am in touch with some secondaries, so something to bear in mind. .  Niacin B3 Very interesting too. Must have a good read about that.  Im sure lots of questions will arise as I progress with dermatitis herpetiformis. In the mean time, thanks for your help.

The Dapsone has cleared the rash entirely but I still get quite a bit itching, absolutely nothing to see though. I know its notoriously hard to clear and its still relatively early days for me.  The iodine issue is very interesting. I do eat quite a bit of salt because I have Addison's disease and sodium retention is an issue. I also have autoimmune hypothyroidism, not sure how a low iodine diet would play into that? Because of my Addison's I am totally steroid dependent, I take steroids 4 x daily and cannot mount any defence against inflammation. I need to increase my meds for that. Now that I know what is wrong I can do just that if Im having a bad day. Life is very sweet, just so damn complicated sometimes! Hey ho, onwards. Thank you again for your advice.

      By trents · Posted

      So, essentially all of the nutrition in the food we eat is absorbed through the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestinal track that is damaged by celiac disease. This villous lining is composed of billions of finger-like projections that create a huge amount of surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the celiac person, when gluten is consumed, it triggers an autoimmune reaction in this area which, of course, generates inflammation. The antibodies connected with this inflammation is what the celiac blood tests are designed to detect but this inflammation, over time, wears down the finger-like projections of the villous lining. Of course, when this proceeds for an extended period of time, greatly reduces the absorption efficiency of the villous lining and often results in many and various nutrient deficiency-related health issues. Classic examples would be osteoporosis and iron deficiency. But there are many more. Low D3 levels is a well-known celiac-caused nutritional deficiency. So is low B12. All the B vitamins in fact. Magnesium, zinc, etc.  Celiac disease can also cause liver inflammation. You mention elevated ALP levels. Elevated liver enzymes over a period of 13 years was what led to my celiac diagnosis. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes normalized. I had elevated AST and ALT. The development of sensitivities to other food proteins is very common in the celiac population. Most common cross reactive foods are dairy and oats but eggs, soy and corn are also relatively common offenders. Lactose intolerance is also common in the celiac population because of damage to the SB lining.  Eggs when they are scrambled or fried give me a gut ache. But when I poach them, they do not. The steam and heat of poaching causes a hydrolysis process that alters the protein in the egg. They don't bother me in baked goods either so I assume the same process is at work. I bought a plastic poacher on Amazon to make poaching very easy. All this to say that many of the issues you describe could be caused by celiac disease.

      By catnapt · Posted

      thank you so much for your detailed and extremely helpful reply!! I can say with absolute certainty that the less gluten containing products I've eaten over the past several years, the better I've felt.   I wasn't avoiding gluten, I was avoiding refined grains (and most processed foods) as well as anything that made me feel bad when I ate it. It's the same reason I gave up dairy and eggs- they make me feel ill.  I do have a bit of a sugar addiction lol so a lot of times I wasn't sure if it was the refined grains that I was eating - or the sugar. So from time to time I might have a cookie or something but I've learned how to make wonderful cookies and golden brownies with BEANS!! and no refined sugar - I use date paste instead. Pizza made me so ill- but I thought it was probably the cheese. I gave up pizza and haven't missed it. the one time I tried a slice I felt so bad I knew I'd never touch it again. I stopped eating wheat pasta at least 3 yrs ago- just didn't feel well after eating it. I tried chick pea pasta and a few others and discovered I like the brown rice pasta. I still don't eat a lot of pasta but it's nice for a change when I want something easy. TBH over the years I've wondered sometimes if I might be gluten intolerant but really believed it was not possible for me to have celiac disease. NOW I need to know for sure- because I'm in the middle of a long process of trying to find out why I have a high parathyroid level (NOT the thyroid- but rather the 4 glands that control the calcium balance in your body) I have had a hard time getting my vit D level up, my serum calcium has run on the low side of normal for many years... and now I am losing calcium from my bones and excreting it in my urine (some sort of renal calcium leak) Also have a high ALP since 2014. And now rapidly worsening bone density.  I still do not have a firm diagnosis. Could be secondary HPT (but secondary to what? we need to know) It could be early primary HPT. I am spilling calcium in my urine but is that caused by the high parathyroid hormone or is it the reason my PTH is high>? there are multiple feedback loops for this condition.    so I will keep eating the bread and some wheat germ that does not seem to bother me too much (it hasn't got enough gluten to use just wheat germ)    but I'm curious- if you don't have a strong reaction to a product- like me and wheat germ- does that mean it's ok to eat or is it still causing harm even if you don't have any obvious symptoms? I guess what you are saying about silent celiac makes it likely that you can have no symptoms and still have the harm... but geez! you'd think they'd come up with a way to test for this that didn't require you to consume something that makes you sick! I worry about the complications I've been reading about- different kinds of cancers etc. also wondering- are there degrees of celiac disease?  is there any correlation between symptoms and the amnt of damage to your intestines? I also need a firm diagnosis because I have an identical twin sister ... so if I have celiac, she has it too- or at least the genetic make up for having it. I did have a VERY major stress to my body in 2014-2016 time frame .. lost 50lbs in a short period of time and had severe symptoms from acute protracted withdrawal off an SSRI drug (that I'd been given an unethically high dose of, by a dr who has since lost his license)  Going off the drug was a good thing and in many ways my health improved dramatically- just losing 50lbs was helpful but I also went  off almost a dozen different medications, totally changed my diet and have been doing pretty well except for the past 3-4 yrs when the symptoms related to the parathyroid issue cropped up. It is likely that I had low vit D for some time and that caused me a lot of symptoms. The endo now tells me that low vit D can be caused by celiac disease so I need to know for sure! thank you for all that great and useful information!!!
