Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (or crescent sheet if available)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Vanilla 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 firmly to form a solid sheet, then gently stretch or roll it 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 together the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture generously over the buttered dough.
- Cut into Slices: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 to 12 wedges, resembling pizza slices, or into squares. For a decorative touch, optionally twist each slice lightly before placing them back in their original arrangement.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough turns golden brown and is fully cooked through.
- Make the Glaze: While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until the glaze is smooth and reaches your desired consistency. Adjust the milk quantity if needed.
- Glaze and Decorate: Allow the baked cinnamon-sugar pizza to cool on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top. While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle optional toppings like chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut if using.
- Serve: Slice and serve warm for a gooey, sweet dessert that’s sure to satisfy cinnamon lovers.
Notes
- Ensure the dough seams are well pinched to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon in the sugar mix to your taste preference for a milder or stronger cinnamon flavor.
- The glaze consistency can be thickened or thinned by adjusting the milk amount; use less for a thicker glaze, more for a drizzle effect.
- Serve immediately for the best gooey texture; leftovers can be warmed slightly before serving.
- Optional toppings add texture and flavor but can be omitted for a simpler dessert.
