Ingredients
Scale
Crust and Topping
- 1 (8 oz) can crescent roll dough
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, carefully pressing the seams together to create one solid sheet of dough for an even crust.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it turns a light golden color, signaling that it is cooked through and crispy on the edges.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: While the crust bakes, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl to create the cinnamon-sugar topping.
- Apply Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Brush the baked crust evenly with the melted unsalted butter, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top for that classic sweet and spicy flavor.
- Bake Again: Return the pizza to the oven for 5 to 7 minutes. This will melt the sugar and butter together, creating a bubbly, fragrant topping.
- Make the Vanilla Glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and pourable. Adjust milk quantity if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Cool and Glaze: Allow the pizza to cool for about 5 minutes to set slightly, then drizzle the vanilla glaze over the top evenly.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the cinnamon-sugar pizza into 8 slices and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, you can bake the crescent dough a minute or two longer before adding the toppings, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Adjust the sweetness and cinnamon level according to your preference by adding more or less sugar or cinnamon.
- The glaze can be made thicker or thinner by altering the milk amount, perfect for drizzling or spreading.
- Feel free to add nuts like chopped pecans or walnuts on top for a crunchy texture.
- This dessert is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 1 day.
