Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk (for icing)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for icing)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or pizza pan.
Step 2: Roll Out the Dough
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a large rectangle or circle. Pinch the seams of the dough together to create a smooth, unified surface.
Step 3: Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
Brush the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough.
Step 4: Bake the Pizza
Place the prepared dough in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Make the Icing
While the pizza is baking, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. If the icing is too thick, add a little more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 6: Drizzle and Serve
Once the pizza is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and drizzle the icing over the top in a zigzag or swirl pattern. Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing into pieces.
Notes
Cooking Note:
- For extra sweetness, you can sprinkle some additional cinnamon-sugar on top after the pizza has been drizzled with icing.
- If you like a crunch, add a sprinkle of chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, on top before baking.
Serving Suggestions:
- This Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a more decadent dessert.
- Serve it with a hot cup of coffee or tea for an afternoon treat.
Tips:
- You can easily double this recipe for larger gatherings or parties.
- If you prefer a thicker crust, use two cans of crescent roll dough and layer them before adding the cinnamon-sugar topping.
