## Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza Ingredients
– 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
### Optional Icing
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1 to 2 teaspoons milk
– 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
## How to Make Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza with Crescent Rolls1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unroll the crescent dough and press it into a circle or rectangle on the sheet, sealing the perforations so it forms one pizza crust.
3. Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough.
4. Mix the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture generously over the buttered dough.
5. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set.
6. Cool for a few minutes. If using icing, whisk powdered sugar with milk and vanilla until smooth, then drizzle over the warm pizza. Slice into wedges and serve.
## Tips for Flaky Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza
Seal the crescent seams well so the pizza bakes as one crust instead of separating into triangles.
Watch the edges closely near the end. Crescent dough browns fast.
For deeper caramelization, press the cinnamon sugar lightly into the butter before baking.
Add the icing after a short cool-down so it stays visible instead of melting away completely.
## Easy Variations
Add a pinch of nutmeg with the cinnamon. Sprinkle chopped pecans over the sugar before baking. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a plated dessert.
## Serving Suggestions
Serve Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza warm as a brunch pastry, kid-friendly dessert, or coffee-side sweet. It also works as a quick party tray cut into small wedges.
## StorageBest eaten fresh. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 1 day and rewarm briefly in the oven or air fryer to crisp the edges again.
## Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza FAQs
### Can I use crescent dough sheets?
Yes. Crescent dough sheets are ideal because there are fewer seams to seal.
### Can I make it without icing?
Absolutely. The butter and cinnamon sugar alone make a classic sweet pizza.
### How do I keep the center from getting doughy?
Press the dough into an even thin layer and bake until the center looks dry and golden, not pale.
### Can I double the recipe?
Yes. Use two cans and two baking sheets so the crusts bake evenly.
## Conclusion
Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza Made with Crescent Rolls is a quick baked dessert with flaky dough, buttery cinnamon sugar, and an optional sweet drizzle. Press, top, bake, and slice for an easy treat in minutes.
