Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans (8 ounces/226 grams each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Arrange crescent roll triangles on a pizza pan, positioning points toward the center, carefully overlapping edges and firmly pressing seams to create a unified pastry base.
- Generously paint melted butter across the entire dough surface, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a mixing vessel, thoroughly blending until uniform in color and texture.
- Distribute the cinnamon-sugar mixture methodically across the buttered dough, aiming for consistent distribution from edge to edge.
- Transfer the prepared pastry into a preheated oven calibrated to 375°F, positioning the pan centrally for balanced heat circulation.
- Monitor the pizza’s transformation, watching for a rich golden-brown coloration indicating complete baking, typically requiring 12-15 minutes.
- While the pastry bakes, craft a luxurious glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, pourable consistency.
- Extract the baked pizza from the oven, allowing minimal cooling to retain warmth.
- Artfully drizzle the prepared glaze across the surface, creating elegant, sweeping patterns.
- Slice the pizza into triangular or rectangular portions and serve immediately to capture maximum flavor and textural appeal.
Notes
- Dough Tip: Press crescent roll triangles firmly together to prevent separation during baking, creating a seamless pizza base.
- Butter Brush: Use a silicone pastry brush for even, light butter distribution without tearing the delicate dough.
- Cinnamon Sugar Trick: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shaker for more uniform and consistent coverage across the entire pizza surface.
- Glaze Consistency: Adjust milk quantity slightly to achieve perfect drizzling thickness – start with less and add gradually for ideal pour-ability.
