Easy Crescent Breakfast Squares Recipe

Easy Crescent Breakfast Squares Recipe - We love ourselves a good crescent dough hack, and this one is one of our faves. Look for dough you can buy as a full sheet (as opposed to the kind with perforated edges). It's not totally necessary, but it'll make things easier to assemble.
