Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Topping
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Vanilla Glaze
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 teaspoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into a rectangle, sealing all the seams carefully to create one even sheet. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Apply Butter and Spice: Brush the entire surface of the dough evenly with the melted unsalted butter. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the dough is puffed up and golden brown.
- Prepare the Vanilla Glaze: While the pizza bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Adjust the amount of milk to reach your desired consistency for drizzling.
- Cool and Glaze: Once baked, remove the cinnamon-sugar pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly to avoid melting the glaze. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the pizza evenly.
- Serve: Slice the cinnamon-sugar pizza into squares or strips and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For added texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped pecans or mini chocolate chips on top before baking.
