Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 ounces / 226 grams) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Spices and Sugar:
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping and Icing:
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the baking surface by lightly greasing a sheet pan or pizza pan, then set the oven to 375F (190C) for optimal baking temperature.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough across the prepared pan, gently pressing and stretching to create a uniform surface. Meticulously seal all visible seams to prevent separation during baking.
- Generously coat the entire dough surface with melted butter, ensuring complete and even coverage to help the cinnamon-sugar mixture adhere perfectly.
- Blend granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl, then liberally scatter the fragrant mixture across the buttered dough, creating a thick, even layer that will caramelize during baking.
- Transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching carefully until the edges transform into a golden-brown, crispy texture that signals perfect doneness.
- During baking, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl, creating a smooth, creamy icing with a silky consistency.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle the prepared icing across the surface, using artistic zigzag or swirling motions for an attractive presentation. Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing to ensure clean, neat cuts.
Notes
- Experiment with different dough types like whole wheat or gluten-free crescent rolls to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Enhance flavor by adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a more complex taste profile.
- Use a silicone baking mat instead of greasing the pan for easier cleanup and more even browning.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven’s performance, watching carefully to prevent over-browning of the delicate crescent roll crust.
