Ingredients

• Crescent Roll Dough: 1 can (8 oz) for the base of this sweet pizza.

How to Make the Recipe

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or pizza pan. You’re about to bake up something sweet and amazing.

2. Roll Out the Dough

Pop open that can of crescent roll dough (gotta love that satisfying “pop!”) and unroll it onto your prepared baking sheet. Press the seams together so you’ve got one smooth piece of dough, either in a rectangle or a circle—it’s pizza, so shape it however you want.

3. Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping

Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Now sprinkle that cinnamon-sugar goodness all over the buttered dough. Be generous—this is the star of the show!

4. Bake the Pizza

Bake your cinnamon-sugar creation for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Your kitchen is about to smell like a cinnamon dream.

5. Make the Icing

While the pizza is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until you have a smooth icing. It should be just thick enough to drizzle over the top.

6. Drizzle and Serve

When the pizza comes out of the oven, let it cool for a minute or two, then drizzle the icing over the top. Go for zigzags, swirls, or whatever pattern speaks to you. Slice it up and serve warm!

How to Serve

• As Dessert: This pizza makes for a great dessert after any meal—just slice it up like a regular pizza!
• With Coffee or Tea: Pair it with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a sweet afternoon treat.
• Brunch: This would be a fun addition to a brunch spread, giving everyone something sweet to snack on.

Make Ahead

• Fridge: If you want to prep the dough and cinnamon-sugar topping ahead, you can. Just store them separately in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
• Freezer: You can freeze the baked pizza (without the icing) and just reheat it in the oven when you’re ready. Add the icing after reheating.

FAQs

Can I use a different dough?
Absolutely! If you don’t have crescent roll dough, you can use pizza dough or even puff pastry for a flakier option.

How do I keep the crust from getting too soft?
To keep the crust crisp, make sure to bake it until golden brown and avoid adding too much butter or sugar on top.

Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Just use a plant-based butter and a non-dairy milk for the icing.

There you have it—Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza that’s sweet, buttery, and downright delicious. It’s perfect for a quick dessert or an indulgent snack, and it’s sure to become a family favorite. Enjoy!
