- Melt the butter in a small bowl and stir in garlic and herbs.
- Unroll the crescent dough on a flat surface.
- Brush dough evenly with the garlic butter mixture.

Notes
- Use a mix of cheeses for extra flavor—try mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan.

- Red pepper flakes can be added for heat.
- Great with marinara, ranch, or garlic dip on the side.
- Roll tightly to prevent unrolling during baking.
