Roll up wedges from the wide ends and place point side down, 2 ” apart on wax paper lined baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescents. Cover & freeze until firm.

Serve Day: arrange frozen rolls 2″ apart on baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cover & thaw in refrigerator overnight. Let rise in warm place for 1 hour until doubled. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 – 17 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.
