Ingredients
Scale
For the crust and topping
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the glaze
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 teaspoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare the dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form a single rectangular sheet. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet.
- Butter and cinnamon-sugar topping: Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough surface. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together, then sprinkle this mixture generously and evenly over the buttered dough.
- Bake the pizza: Place the prepared dough in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges.
- Make the glaze: While the pizza is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to create a smooth glaze.
- Cool and finish: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top, then slice into squares or wedges and serve warm.
Notes
- Add mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts before baking for extra flavor and texture.
- This recipe makes a fun and easy dessert or sweet brunch that comes together quickly with very few ingredients.
- You can vary the glaze thickness by adjusting the amount of milk to suit your preference.
