Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Topping
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (or crescent sheet if available)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
- Sprinkles
- Shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Pinch the seams together to form a single solid sheet, then stretch or roll it slightly to create an even circle or rectangle shape.
- Add Butter and Cinnamon-Sugar: Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together, then sprinkle this mixture generously over the buttered dough.
- Cut into Slices: Cut the dough into 8 to 12 wedges like a pizza or into squares. Optionally, twist each slice before arranging them back in place to create a swirled effect.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the Glaze: While baking, whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth. Adjust the amount of milk to reach your preferred glaze consistency.
- Glaze and Decorate: Once baked, allow the pizza to cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the top, then add any optional toppings like nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut while the glaze is still wet.
- Serve: Slice and serve the cinnamon-sugar pizza warm for a gooey and delicious dessert experience.
Notes
- For best results, use crescent roll sheet dough if available to avoid seams.
- Adjust cinnamon amount according to your taste preference.
- The glaze consistency can be thick or thin based on milk amount—add gradually.
- Optional toppings add texture and flavor but can be omitted for a classic version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat briefly before serving.
