Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For convenience, in this crescent braid we used cubed ham, which can be found in the meat department of your favorite grocery store. You can also use leftover ham.
  • tip 2
    Serve with a side of fresh fruit for brunch.
  • tip 3
    Parchment paper makes transferring braid as well as cleanup easier. Just pick up the parchment paper after baking, and slide the braid onto a cutting board or platter.
