Ingredients (Serves 4-6)
For the Pizza Base:
- Crescent roll dough: 1 can (8 oz or 225 g)
- Butter (melted): 2 tbsp
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
- Granulated sugar: ½ cup (100 g)
- Ground cinnamon: 2 tsp
- Butter (melted, for brushing): 2 tbsp
Optional:
- Vanilla icing (for drizzling): ¼ cup (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Crescent Dough
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Press the dough to form a solid, even layer, pinching together any perforated seams to create a full pizza base.
Step 2: Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Stir to mix well.
Step 3: Add the Topping
- Brush the crescent dough with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the dough.
- If you like extra sweetness, you can drizzle more melted butter on top before baking.
Step 4: Bake the Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cinnamon-sugar topping has melted into a bubbly, caramelized layer.
Step 5: Serve
- Once baked, remove the cinnamon-sugar pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
- Optionally, drizzle with vanilla icing for extra sweetness and flavor.
- Slice and serve while warm. Enjoy!
Tips for Success:
- For extra flavor: Add a pinch of salt to the cinnamon-sugar mixture to enhance the sweetness.
- Crispier crust: If you prefer a slightly crispier base, bake for an extra 2-3 minutes. Just be sure to keep an eye on the edges to prevent burning.
- Drizzle icing: If you like the flavor of icing, use a store-bought vanilla icing or make your own by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
Recommendations:
- Serving Suggestions: Serve this cinnamon-sugar pizza as a dessert or sweet breakfast treat with a cup of coffee or milk.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds to restore its softness.
- Variation: Try adding chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or fruit (like sliced apples or berries) on top before baking for added texture and flavor.
