1
Read the instruction on the back of the dough container to determine the temperature at which you will have to bake the recipe and accordingly pre-heat the oven. Most of the dough brands require the oven to be preheated at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Separate each crescent dough triangle and roll them out. The dough needs to be of normal thickness. Too thick and it will remain undercooked. Too thin and it will break apart. You will want to remember that being-baked dough will rise and expand. Use a rolling pin and a flat wooden surface for this purpose.
