Original Rolls

Does anyone have a recipe for frozen whole-wheat crescent rolls?

I used to have a recipe to make frozen whole-wheat crescent rolls that I got from an old newspaper called Capper’s Weekly in Topeka, KS. They were the best rolls you ever tasted and I lost the recipe during a move. I’ve tried to recreate it, but it seems to be a touchy recipe and they are just not the same. I wish I could find the original recipe.
