Garlic and Herb Crescent Rolls
These garlic and herb crescent rolls are soft and buttery, with lots of rich flavor and plenty of appeal. Plus, they’re made with my no-knead recipe and are a cinch to put together!
Sometimes classics are so good, you don’t want to mess with them. That’s been the case with my mom’s easy no-knead fairy crescent rolls for as long as I can remember. They’re so light, soft, and buttery that I haven’t ever felt the need to change things up.
Until now! I’ve taken my mom’s amazing recipe, and kicked it up a notch. These no-knead dinner rolls are every bit as wonderful, plus they’re filled with the savory flavor of garlic and herbs.
Fresh rosemary, thyme and garlic are baked right into the rolls, and they’re brushed with a garlic and herb butter when they’re hot from the oven. A sprinkling of flaky salt is the final touch to these beautiful and delicious rolls. They’re the perfect accompaniment to any meal!
What’s in these crescent rolls?
Here’s the ingredients you’ll need to bake these rolls:
- All-purpose flour
- Sugar
- Salt
- Active-dry yeast
- Large egg

How to make garlic and herb crescent rolls
1. Activate yeast— Combine warm water and yeast and let sit for 5 minutes.
2. Mix the dough— Add the remaining roll ingredients and mix to form a wet shaggy dough.
3. Let the dough rise in a warm place— I’ve got a list of tips and suggestions here.
4. Roll and slice— Work with half of the dough at a time and roll out on a floured surface to be about 12-15 inches in diameter. Use a knife or pizza wheel to cut into 12 triangles.
5. Shape— Starting with the wide end, roll each up and shape into a crescent.
6. Rise again— Meanwhile, preheat the oven.
7. Bake— Until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
8. Brush with garlic herb butter— As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush them with the garlic herb butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Then all there’s left to do is enjoy! And I can guarantee you will, too. These rolls are incredible! Serve these garlic herb crescent rolls at your next holiday gathering, dinner party, or potluck. Everyone is sure to love them!

This looks like a great recipe! Can I use granulated garlic instead of fresh minced garlic? If yes, how much should I use?
I don’t cook or bake a lot with granulated garlic. Is there a guide on the container? I’d start 1/2-1 teaspoon.
