Ingredients

(Serves 6–8)

For the Pizza Base:

  • 1 (8 oz) tube crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Topping:

  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for extra depth)

For the Glaze:

  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream (to adjust consistency)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the dough doesn’t stick.

Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Roll Base
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared pan. Press the seams of the dough together to create one large sheet, making a seamless base for the pizza.
Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough, ensuring it’s well coated to help the cinnamon-sugar topping stick.

Step 3: Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and brown sugar (if using). Mix well and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough. Be sure to cover the entire surface for maximum flavor.

Step 4: Bake the Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and the cinnamon-sugar topping is slightly bubbling. You should also smell the warm, spiced aroma filling your kitchen!

Step 5: Make the Glaze
While the pizza bakes, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk for a thinner glaze, or leave it thicker for a more decadent drizzle.

Step 6: Finish and Serve
Once the pizza is baked and golden brown, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon-sugar pizza, either using a spoon or a piping bag for a more precise finish.
Slice into wedges or squares and serve warm for the best experience.

Optional Add-Ons

  • Fresh Fruit: Add thin slices of apples or pears before baking for a fruity twist.
  • Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the glaze for added texture.
  • Caramel Drizzle: Add a drizzle of caramel sauce on top for a richer, decadent flavor.
