Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the cinnamon-sugar topping:
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (or more as needed)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional toppings:
- Chopped pecans or walnuts
- Mini chocolate chips
- Toasted coconut
How to Make Cinnamon-Sugar Crescent Roll Pizza
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: Roll Out the Dough
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into a rectangle or circle, sealing the perforated seams with your fingers. You want an even, flat base for the “pizza.”
Step 3: Add the Cinnamon-Sugar
Brush the dough with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the topping is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
Step 5: Glaze It
While the pizza bakes, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Once the pizza comes out of the oven, let it cool for 3–5 minutes, then drizzle the glaze over the top.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
Cut into wedges or squares and serve warm. It’s especially good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of coffee!
Helpful Tips
- Seal the seams well to prevent sugar from seeping through during baking.
- Want a crisper crust? Prebake the dough for 3 minutes before adding the topping.
- Double it up: Use two cans of dough for a thicker crust or to serve more people.
Substitutions and Variations
- Dairy-Free: Use vegan butter and plant-based milk in the glaze.
- Add fruit: Top with thinly sliced apples or bananas before baking.
- Glaze twist: Use maple syrup instead of milk for a maple glaze.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use crescent dough sheets instead?
Yes! They’re even easier since there are no perforations to seal.
Can I make this ahead?
Best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep the dough and sugar topping ahead. Bake and glaze right before serving.
Can I reheat leftovers?
Yes, reheat in the oven at 300°F for 5 minutes for best texture.
Storage Instructions
- Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Fridge: Keep refrigerated up to 4 days. Reheat before serving.
- Freezer: Not recommended—the texture softens too much once thawed.
