Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Topping
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet or pizza pan by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and press all the seams together to create a single large rectangle or circle, depending on your pan, spreading it evenly on the prepared sheet.
- Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, coat the entire surface of the dough evenly with the melted unsalted butter to promote browning and add rich flavor.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough to create that classic cinnamon sugar topping.
- Bake: Place the dough in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is puffed up and golden brown, indicating it’s perfectly baked.
- Make the Glaze: While the pizza is baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth to form a sweet vanilla glaze.
- Glaze the Pizza: Remove the baked pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for a few minutes to avoid melting the glaze too much. Then, drizzle the glaze generously over the top.
- Serve: Slice the cinnamon sugar pizza into servings and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute the crescent roll dough with puff pastry for a flakier crust.
- For extra indulgence, add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or drizzle with caramel sauce.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the crust tender and flaky.
- This dessert is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
