Description

This Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza is a quick, sweet treat that comes together effortlessly with refrigerated crescent rolls. Buttery, flaky layers meet a warm cinnamon-sugar coating, finished with a smooth vanilla glaze. Perfect for a family dessert or a casual brunch, it’s a pull-apart style dessert that’s both nostalgic and crowd-pleasing.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Base
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (or crescent sheet if available)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
23 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Toppings
Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
Sprinkles
Shredded coconut


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. If using crescent triangles, pinch the seams together to form a single sheet. Gently stretch or roll it to an even thickness in a circular or rectangular shape.

Step 3: Brush the melted butter over the entire surface of the dough, leaving a small border. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Step 4: Cut the dough into 8–12 wedges or into squares, depending on the desired serving style. Twist each piece slightly to create a swirled effect, then rearrange them into the original shape, slightly overlapping the edges.

Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully baked.

Step 6: While baking, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the milk for a thinner or thicker glaze as preferred.

Step 7: Once baked, allow the pizza to cool for 2–3 minutes. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm pastry. Add any optional toppings while the glaze is still tacky.

Step 8: Slice and serve while warm for a soft, gooey dessert experience.

Notes

This recipe is highly adaptable—use flavored extracts, swap cinnamon for nutmeg or pumpkin spice, or make it festive with seasonal toppings. Leftovers can be reheated briefly in the oven or air fryer for a freshly baked texture.
