Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza Made with Crescent Rolls

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 (8 oz) tube of refrigerated crescent rolls (or crescent roll dough sheet)

For the Topping:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2–3 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Prepare the Crust

1. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. If using crescent rolls, press the perforations together to form a single layer of dough.
2. Stretch and shape the dough into a large circle or rectangle, depending on your preference. Aim for an even thickness to ensure even baking.

Step 3: Bake the Crust

Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes , or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the topping.

Step 4: Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture

1. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
2. Brush the melted butter evenly over the warm crust, ensuring full coverage.
3. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered crust, pressing gently to help it adhere.

Step 5: Prepare the Glaze

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth. Add more milk, a little at a time, to achieve your desired glaze consistency.
2. Drizzle the glaze over the cinnamon-sugar pizza.

Step 6: Slice and Serve

Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing the pizza into wedges or squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips and Variations

• Add-ins: Sprinkle chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts), mini chocolate chips, or shredded coconut over the cinnamon-sugar layer for extra flavor and texture.
• Fruit Topping: Add thinly sliced apples, bananas, or berries before baking for a fruity twist.
• Cream Cheese Drizzle: Mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and a splash of milk for a tangy alternative to the glaze.
• Make Ahead: Assemble the pizza up to the baking step, then refrigerate or freeze. Bake when ready to serve.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair this sweet pizza with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
• Serve it as a fun brunch item alongside coffee or tea.
