Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Icing:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with light grease to ensure easy removal of the sweet treat.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet, gently stretching it to create a uniform rectangular or circular base, sealing any perforations to form a smooth crust.
- Generously coat the dough surface with melted butter, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl, then liberally sprinkle the mixture across the buttered dough, creating a generous and uniform topping.
- Place the prepared pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for a golden-brown and crispy crust that indicates perfect doneness.
- While the pizza bakes, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until the mixture transforms into a smooth, creamy icing with a glossy appearance.
- Remove the baked pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle the prepared icing across the surface, creating artistic zigzag or swirled patterns.
- Allow the cinnamon-sugar pizza to cool slightly, which helps the icing set and makes slicing easier, then serve and enjoy the warm, sweet creation.
Notes
- Swap crescent rolls for gluten-free versions to accommodate dietary restrictions and make the dessert celiac-friendly.
- Create a dairy-free alternative by using coconut oil instead of butter and plant-based milk for icing.
- Try alternative spices like cardamom or nutmeg to add unique flavor complexity beyond traditional cinnamon.
- Reduce sugar content by using monk fruit sweetener or cutting sugar quantities by one-third for a lighter dessert option.
