Looks tasty
Want to make for dinner but unsure it looks like there is crescent dough on the bottom but I do not seem to read that in th recipe please what am I missing ?
I thought the accompanying photo showed a bottom crust. That was what was holding the serving together. The ingredient list only shows one tube of crescent rolls which usually would cover one layer in a 9 x 13 pan. I would like some clarification also. The recipe looks delicious and I am looking forward to making it soon. I have successfully used crescent rolls for a bottom crust so I’m inclined to give it a try.
Crescent rolls seem doable But I think I may prefer puff pastry
