You do have to make this in advance, but it is well worth the wait! The staff members I work with are such picky eaters, and yet, they all wanted this recipe! It is really good!

I made these rolls for a family gathering today and my children, neices and nephews were eating them as they came out of the oven. I don't consider myself a great yeast bread maker but this recipe is wonderful and so easy. I'm looking forward to making them again.

I usually go for the "bread machine" recipes, but this one caught my eye. My family loves it. It is easy to make and has a wonderful taste and texture. I mix honey and butter to glaze the top with after baking.

This is a TREMENDOUS bread dough recipie! I didn't have baking potatoes on hand, so I made a cup of instant potatoes, and it was just as wonderful! I even used this as a basic bread recipie instead of making rolls, and it was great. I didn't let it rise in the fridge as specified, I let it rise in a warm place until it doubled--I was too impatient for it to rise overnight or for days! :) It is nice to know you can make it ahead, though. It is very kid-friendly--my kids had fun rolling up the crescent shapes, and they loved the soft rolls after they were cooked. Thanks, Colleen, for a wonderful recipie!

I made these rolls for Thanksgiving, and even stodgy old relatives raved! I didn't have any shortening, so I used all butter in the recipe, but they were still perfect. My little tip is to use a pizza roller to cut out the crescents...made it that much easier. Amazing recipe!

This bread is pretty great. I made it for Thanskgiving and everyone wanted the recipe. It was perhaps my finest work, and it wasn't real tough, though it did involve making a whole mess of the dough the day before and filling up the fridge. Still, the final product is outstanding. I didn't make them into crescent rolls, and I didn't add the butter at the end, but they were sitll great. Thanks!

I used instant potato to make a cup of mash potato. I made it as cinnamon rolls instead of crescent rolls. Very delicious!!!

Very tasty and high risers! The dough is very easy to handle. I would suggest cutting out some of the sugar if you intend to serve them as dinner rolls, but keep it as is if you want to make them into a sweet roll.

Interesting. Probably would have been better if I hadn't used canola oil margarine. I couldn't find the shortening. Still, they were tasty. They probably deserve five stars, because of my error, but they get four because that was my impression.
