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
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it firmly into a lightly greased 9×13-inch baking sheet or pizza pan, making sure to seal the perforations to form a continuous crust.
- Add Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Brush the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture generously over the buttered dough to create a sweet, spiced topping.
- Bake the Crust: Place the prepared dough in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown and the crust is cooked through.
- Make the Glaze: While the crust is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and creamy to form the glaze.
- Glaze and Serve: Once baked, remove the cinnamon-sugar pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for a few minutes. Drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the warm crust. Slice into 8 pieces and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For additional flavor and texture, consider adding chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts on top before baking.
- A light sprinkle of nutmeg can complement the cinnamon and add warmth to the flavor profile.
- To achieve a crispier crust, bake the pizza on the lower oven rack.
- This dessert is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
