  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

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
  • 12 tablespoons milk (adjust for icing consistency)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
