Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
Topping
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Garnish
- Powdered sugar (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the crescent roll crust evenly and developing a golden finish.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Carefully pinch the seams together to form a smooth, continuous crust, which prevents gaps and ensures an even texture.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon thoroughly, making sure the cinnamon is evenly distributed to deliver consistent flavor across the pizza.
- Apply Butter and Topping: Brush the entire surface of the dough generously with melted butter mixed with vanilla extract to add moisture and a rich flavor. Then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top to achieve a sweet, spiced layer.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is puffed up and golden brown, ensuring the topping caramelizes slightly but does not burn.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cinnamon-sugar pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to set. Slice into squares or wedges and optionally drizzle with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top before baking for added texture.
- For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly before serving.
