What You’ll Need for This Recipe
Ingredients
For the Pizza:
1 (8 oz) can crescent roll dough – Acts as the light, buttery crust.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted – Helps the cinnamon-sugar mixture adhere and adds richness.
1/4 cup granulated sugar – Adds sweetness to the topping.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon – Provides warmth and flavor.
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar – The base for a creamy, sweet glaze.
1-2 tablespoons milk – Adjusts the glaze consistency.
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract – Enhances the flavor of the glaze.
How to Make Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Roll Base
Roll out the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Pinch the seams together to form a smooth, flat crust.
If desired, shape the dough into a rectangle or circle, depending on your preferred pizza shape.
Step 3: Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
Brush the melted butter evenly over the crescent roll dough.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough, covering the entire surface.
Step 4: Bake the Pizza
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and puffed.
Step 5: Make the Glaze
While the pizza bakes, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
Step 6: Add the Glaze and Serve
Once the pizza is out of the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Drizzle the glaze generously over the top of the cinnamon-sugar pizza.
Slice into squares or triangles and serve warm.
Tips + Tricks for Recipe Success
Seal the Seams: Ensure the crescent roll seams are pinched together well to prevent the dough from separating during baking.
Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the pizza as it bakes to avoid overcooking; it should be golden and slightly crisp.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or raisins on top for extra flavor and texture.
Make Ahead: Prepare the cinnamon-sugar topping and glaze in advance to save time.
