Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Optional toppings:
- Cream cheese drizzle (softened cream cheese mixed with a little powdered sugar and milk)
- Chocolate chips or caramel drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with butter.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent dough and press it evenly into the pan. Seal the perforated edges so the dough forms one smooth “pizza crust.”
- Butter the base: Brush the melted butter generously over the surface of the dough.
- Make cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed, golden, and fully cooked in the center.
- Add optional toppings: Allow to cool slightly, then drizzle with cream cheese frosting, caramel, or melted chocolate. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- The crescent dough bakes quickly, so keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
- If you prefer softer, gooier centers, pull the pizza at 12 minutes. For a crispier crust, bake the full 15 minutes.
- For extra cinnamon-sugar flavor, sprinkle a touch more sugar on top right after it comes out of the oven it melts slightly and adds sparkle.
