Ingredients
Scale
Dough & Base
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Vanilla Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll both cans of crescent roll dough and press all seams firmly together to form one large rectangle or circle on the prepared baking sheet, creating a single crust base.
- Butter the Dough: Evenly brush the melted unsalted butter over the entire surface of the dough to help the cinnamon sugar stick and enhance flavor.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough to ensure every bite has a sweet, spicy kick.
- Bake the Crust: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and puffs slightly, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the pizza bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable for the finishing glaze.
- Apply Glaze: Remove the cinnamon sugar pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Then drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the warm crust for added sweetness and moisture.
- Serve: Slice the pizza into 8 portions and serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- You can substitute butter with margarine or a dairy-free butter alternative for a different flavor or dietary needs.
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the cinnamon quantity by 1 teaspoon.
- Adding chopped nuts or raisins before baking can add texture and flavor variety.
- If the crescent dough is not available, pre-made pizza or puff pastry dough can be used as a substitute.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat briefly before serving.
