Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Topping
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready by the time your dough is prepared.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, pressing the seams together to form a single flat pizza crust.
- Mix Cinnamon-Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly.
- Coat Dough: Brush the melted unsalted butter evenly over the surface of the crescent roll dough to help the cinnamon-sugar mixture stick and add rich flavor.
- Sprinkle Topping: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter-coated dough, covering the entire surface.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare Glaze: While the pizza bakes, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more as needed for desired consistency), and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
- Cool and Glaze: Remove the baked cinnamon-sugar pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle or spread the vanilla glaze evenly over the warm pizza.
- Serve: Slice into 8 pieces and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of cinnamon-sugar topping or glaze.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and milk with almond or oat milk in the glaze.
- Use a pizza stone or baking steel for a crisper crust if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
- Adding chopped nuts or raisins to the topping before baking can add texture and flavor.
