Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough and Topping
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Garnish (Optional)
- Powdered sugar, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking your cinnamon-sugar pizza.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Carefully pinch the seams together to form a smooth, continuous crust without gaps.
- Mix cinnamon-sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon thoroughly to create an even cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Apply butter and topping: Brush the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough. Then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top to cover the dough well.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Let the cinnamon-sugar pizza cool slightly before slicing into squares or wedges. Optionally, drizzle with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Pinching the seams properly prevents the dough from separating during baking.
- For an extra flavor boost, add a sprinkle of nutmeg or a dash of vanilla to the cinnamon-sugar mix.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- You can substitute the crescent roll dough with puff pastry if desired.
- Optional powdered sugar drizzle adds a nice visual touch and a bit more sweetness.
