Ingredients
Scale
Crust and Topping
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Cream Cheese Glaze
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for glaze thinning)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Form the Pizza Crust: Unroll the crescent roll dough and carefully press the seams together to create one continuous rectangular or round pizza crust on the prepared pan.
- Add Butter and Sprinkle Topping: Brush the melted butter evenly over the surface of the dough, then combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough for that sweet, spicy layer.
- Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through, forming a light, flaky crust.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: While the crust is baking, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and spreadable, adjusting milk quantity for desired consistency.
- Glaze and Serve: When the crust is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Then, spread or drizzle the cream cheese glaze evenly over the warm cinnamon sugar crust. Slice into wedges or squares and serve warm for the best soft, gooey experience.
Notes
- For extra crunch, sprinkle a little additional cinnamon sugar on top after glazing.
- You can add chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts on top of the cinnamon sugar before baking for added texture and flavor.
- Serve warm to enjoy the soft and gooey texture, or chill it for a firmer, dessert-style pizza.
