Ingredients
For the Crust and Topping
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Icing
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (adjust for icing consistency)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup to prevent sticking and make cleanup simple.
- Prepare Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough. Unroll it and press the seams together to form a single sheet, shaping it into a rectangle or round shape based on your preference for a uniform crust.
- Butter Crust: Brush the surface of the dough evenly with melted unsalted butter, ensuring every inch is coated. This will help achieve a golden, crispy crust when baked.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough to add a sweet and aromatic topping.
- Bake Pizza: Bake the prepared dough in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and puffs up nicely along the edges, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Make Icing: While the pizza bakes, combine the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Stir well until smooth, adding additional milk if needed to achieve a pourable consistency for drizzling.
- Drizzle Icing: Once the pizza has baked and cooled slightly, generously drizzle the vanilla icing over the top to complement the cinnamon sugar and add a sweet finishing touch.
- Serve: Slice the cinnamon roll pizza into wedges and serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Adjust the milk quantity in the icing to achieve your preferred thickness.
- For an extra indulgent twist, add cream cheese icing instead of vanilla glaze.
- Can be served warm or at room temperature, but warm is best for soft texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly before serving.
- This recipe can be doubled or halved easily to fit your serving needs.
