Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Topping Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Icing Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the baking surface by lightly greasing a sheet pan at 375F (190C), ensuring even coating to prevent sticking.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared pan, gently pressing and stretching to create a uniform surface, meticulously sealing any perforations to form a seamless base.
- Generously apply melted butter across the entire dough surface, using a pastry brush to distribute evenly and create a rich foundation.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small mixing bowl, then liberally sprinkle the fragrant mixture over the buttered dough, covering every inch for maximum flavor.
- Transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until the edges transform into a golden-brown, crispy texture with a slightly puffy appearance.
- During baking, swiftly whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until the icing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency with no lumps.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes, then artfully drizzle the creamy icing across the surface in decorative patterns.
- Slice into triangular or rectangular portions and serve warm, allowing the cinnamon-sugar aroma to entice your guests.
Notes
- Customize the dough by using gluten-free crescent rolls for a celiac-friendly version, ensuring everyone can enjoy this sweet treat.
- Experiment with alternative toppings like chopped nuts, sliced almonds, or a sprinkle of cardamom to add extra texture and flavor complexity.
- Control the sweetness by adjusting the sugar-to-cinnamon ratio or using a sugar substitute like stevia for a lower-calorie option.
- Enhance the icing by incorporating cream cheese for a richer, tangier drizzle that complements the cinnamon-sugar base.
