How to Make Gluten Free Crescent Rolls

  1. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of cottage cheese (or ricotta cheese) using an electric mixer or blender until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (I recommend a blend containing xanthan gum), 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly flour your work surface with gluten-free all-purpose flour or rice flour.
  5. Gently roll the dough out into a 14-inch circle. For easier rolling, you can roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap.
  6. Cut the circle into 8 equal triangles.
  7. Starting at the wide end of each triangle, roll towards the point. Gently curve the tip to form a crescent shape.
  8. Place the crescents on a greased baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
