Ingredients:
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (slightly reduced for balance)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (enhanced for richer flavor)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (adds depth and slight caramelization)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons milk (for a smoother glaze)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (extra for the glaze, optional)
Directions:
Preheat & Prepare:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Unroll crescent dough and arrange triangles on a lightly greased pizza pan with points toward the center.
Create the Base:
- Overlap edges slightly and press seams together to form a solid crust.
- Lightly prick the dough with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
Apply Toppings:
- Brush the crust with melted butter.
- In a bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
Bake:
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Make the Glaze:
- While the crust is baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon until smooth.
Finish with Glaze:
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm pizza.
Serve:
- Slice and enjoy while warm.
Pro Tips:
1. Create a Smooth Base: Press the seams of the crescent roll dough firmly to ensure a seamless, even crust.
2. Butter Evenly: Brush melted butter generously over the dough to help the cinnamon-sugar mixture stick and enhance flavor.
3. Watch the Bake: Crescent dough browns quickly, so keep an eye on it and remove once golden to prevent overcooking.
4. Warm Glaze Magic: Drizzle the glaze while the pizza is still warm for a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth topping.
5. Serve Fresh: Enjoy this treat straight from the oven for the best taste and texture.
