Ingredients
Scale
Main Pizza Ingredients:
- 1 pack crescent rolls
Sugars:
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) powdered sugar
Spices and Wet Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) milk
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F and lightly coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray, ensuring even coverage for smooth dough placement.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared sheet, gently pressing the perforated seams together to create a seamless, uniform pizza-like foundation.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl, creating a fragrant spice blend that will coat the dough with sweet warmth.
- Use a pastry brush to evenly distribute melted butter across the dough’s surface, ensuring complete and consistent coverage.
- Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered dough, creating a thick, even layer that will caramelize during baking.
- Transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges and a fully cooked center.
- While baking, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until the glaze reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Once baked, remove the cinnamon-sugar pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, helping the crust set and become crisp.
- Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm pizza in a decorative pattern, allowing it to slightly melt and create an appealing finish.
- Slice into wedges or squares and serve immediately, enjoying the warm, sweet treat while its texture remains perfectly crisp and delicate.
Notes
- Swap crescent rolls for gluten-free options to accommodate dietary restrictions, ensuring everyone can enjoy this sweet treat.
- Experiment with alternative spices like cardamom or nutmeg to add unique flavor complexity to the traditional cinnamon-sugar coating.
- Use a silicone baking mat for easier cleanup and to prevent the dough from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, reheating briefly in the oven to restore crispness.
