Name: Cinnamon-Sugar Crescent Pizza
Ingredients: Crescent Roll Dough (2 cans, 8 oz each): The foundation of our pizza! Crescent roll dough provides a flaky, buttery crust that bakes up beautifully. Using two cans ensures a nice, substantial pizza base, perfect for holding all that sweet topping.; Butter, Unsalted (½ cup, 1 stick): Butter is key for richness and flavor. It melts into the crescent roll dough, creating a golden-brown crust and adding a lovely buttery note to the overall dessert. Unsalted butter allows you to control the salt level and ensures the sweet flavors shine.; Granulated Sugar (½ cup): The primary sweetener for our pizza. Granulated sugar provides a clean, sweet taste and helps create that wonderful caramelized topping when baked.; Brown Sugar, Light or Dark (½ cup, packed): Brown sugar adds depth of flavor with its molasses notes. It also contributes to the chewy texture of the topping and enhances the caramelization process. Light or dark brown sugar works equally well; dark brown will provide a slightly richer, more intense flavor.; Ground Cinnamon (2 tablespoons): The star spice! Cinnamon infuses the pizza with its warm, comforting aroma and characteristic sweet-spicy flavor. Two tablespoons ensure a prominent cinnamon presence in every bite.; Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon): Vanilla extract enhances the sweetness and rounds out the flavors of the cinnamon and sugar. It adds a subtle warmth and complexity to the overall taste profile.; Optional Glaze Ingredients: Powdered Sugar (1 cup): For the glaze, powdered sugar creates a smooth, sweet base.; Milk or Cream (2-3 tablespoons): Liquid to thin the glaze to the desired consistency. Milk creates a thinner glaze, while cream results in a richer, thicker glaze.; Vanilla Extract (½ teaspoon): Optional, but adds a touch of extra vanilla flavor to the glaze, complementing the pizza beautifully.

Instructions

Follow these simple, step-by-step instructions to bake your own mouthwatering Cinnamon-Sugar Crescent Pizza. This recipe is so easy, even beginner bakers can achieve delicious results!

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or pizza pan. Alternatively, you can line the pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Prepare the Dough Base: Open both cans of crescent roll dough. Unroll the dough and lay it out on the prepared baking sheet. Pinch the seams together to create a large, flat rectangle. You want to eliminate the perforations and create a solid base for your pizza. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly rectangular; a slightly rustic shape is perfectly fine.
Melt the Butter: In a small, microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt the ½ cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter. Melt it completely until it’s liquid and smooth.
Combine Sugars and Cinnamon: In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the ½ cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of brown sugar (packed), and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Whisk these ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined and evenly distributed. This cinnamon-sugar mixture is what will create the irresistible topping.
Brush with Melted Butter: Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, generously brush the entire surface of the crescent roll dough with the melted butter. Make sure to get butter all the way to the edges. The butter will help the cinnamon-sugar mixture adhere to the dough and create a golden, crispy crust.
Sprinkle with Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered crescent roll dough. Try to distribute it as uniformly as possible so that every bite is perfectly sweet and cinnamon-y. Gently press the mixture into the dough with your hands or the back of a spoon to help it stick.
Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cinnamon-sugar topping is bubbly and caramelized. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to prevent burning, as ovens can vary in temperature. The edges of the pizza should be nicely browned.
Cool Slightly and Add Vanilla Extract: Once baked, remove the Cinnamon-Sugar Crescent Pizza from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. While it’s still warm, drizzle 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract evenly over the top. The warmth of the pizza will help release the vanilla aroma and infuse it into the dessert.
Prepare Optional Glaze (if desired): While the pizza is cooling, you can prepare a simple glaze if you like. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons of milk or cream (start with 2 and add more to reach desired consistency), and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional). Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Drizzle Glaze (optional): Once the pizza has cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. You can use a spoon, a fork, or a piping bag for a more decorative effect. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Slice and Serve: Slice the Cinnamon-Sugar Crescent Pizza into squares or triangles. It’s best served warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the delightful combination of flaky crust, buttery cinnamon-sugar goodness, and optional sweet glaze!
