Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust and Topping
- 1 (8 oz) can crescent roll dough
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, pressing the seams together firmly to form one solid sheet that will be your pizza crust.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the dough for 8-10 minutes, or until it turns lightly golden and sets into a sturdy crust.
- Make Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture and Apply: While the crust bakes, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Once the crust is baked, brush it evenly with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture all over the surface.
- Bake Again: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes. This helps the cinnamon-sugar topping become bubbly and fragrant.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzle-worthy. Adjust milk to achieve your desired glaze consistency.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cinnamon-sugar pizza to cool for about 5 minutes. Then drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly on top. Slice the pizza and serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Pressing the seams together ensures the dough holds together and doesn’t puff up separately.
- Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
- You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the cinnamon-sugar topping for extra texture if desired.
- Serve warm for optimal taste, although it can be enjoyed at room temperature.
