Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 (8 oz) can crescent roll dough
For the Topping:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk (adjust as needed for consistency)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat & Prepare the Dough:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, pressing the seams together to create a smooth crust.
Initial Bake:
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden.
Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
While the crust is baking, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush the melted butter over the baked crust, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
Finish Baking:
Return the pizza to the oven for another 5-7 minutes until the topping is bubbly and fragrant.
Make the Glaze:
While the pizza bakes, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Adjust the milk for your desired glaze consistency.
Glaze & Serve:
Let the baked pizza cool for 5 minutes, drizzle with the glaze, and cut into slices or squares. Serve warm for the best experience.
Serving Tips:
Serve Warm: This dessert pizza is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the glaze is still soft and gooey. The warm, buttery crust paired with the cinnamon-sugar topping and sweet glaze makes it extra irresistible.
Pair with Ice Cream: Add a scoop of vanilla, cinnamon, or butter pecan ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Top with Fresh Fruits: Serve alongside fresh fruit like strawberries, raspberries, or bananas for a fruity contrast to the sweetness of the pizza.
Slice for Sharing: Cut the pizza into wedges or squares for easy serving, especially if you’re sharing with a group.
Storage Tips:
Room Temperature: If you have leftovers, allow the pizza to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. The crust may lose some of its flakiness, but it will still be delicious.
Refrigeration: For longer storage, refrigerate leftover cinnamon-sugar pizza in an airtight container. It will keep for about 3 days, though the crust will soften slightly over time.
Freezing: You can freeze the cinnamon-sugar pizza if you want to save it for later. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then store it in a freezer-safe bag or container. To reheat, simply thaw at room temperature and warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
Reheating: For the best texture, reheat the pizza in the oven or air fryer instead of the microwave to maintain the crispiness of the crust.

FAQs:
Can I use a different type of dough instead of crescent rolls?
Absolutely! Puff pastry or pre-made pizza dough can work as substitutes. Puff pastry will give a flakier texture, while pizza dough will result in a chewier crust. Adjust the baking time accordingly for these alternatives.
Can I make this dessert pizza ahead of time?
Yes! You can bake the crust and add the cinnamon-sugar topping in advance. Store it covered at room temperature for up to a day. Add the glaze just before serving to keep it fresh and visually appealing.
How can I make the pizza gluten-free?
Use a gluten-free crescent roll dough or gluten-free puff pastry, available at most grocery stores. Ensure all other ingredients, such as powdered sugar and cinnamon, are certified gluten-free.
Can I customize the toppings?
Absolutely! You can add crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or caramel drizzle on top of the glaze. For a seasonal twist, sprinkle pumpkin pie spice or nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
Conclusion:
This Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza Made with Crescent Rolls is a dessert you’ll want to make on repeat. Its flaky crust, warm cinnamon-sugar topping, and creamy glaze make it irresistible. Best of all, it’s quick to whip up and guaranteed to be a hit with your family and friends.
