The Story Behind This Sweet Pizza

I’ve always loved cinnamon rolls, but sometimes I want something quicker without all the rolling and rising. That’s when I discovered the magic of crescent roll dough—flaky, buttery, and ready in minutes. This cinnamon sugar pizza gives you all the flavor of a cinnamon roll with a deliciously crisp crust.

Unlike traditional cinnamon desserts, this one is incredibly easy to make. Just roll out the dough, sprinkle on the sugar, bake, and drizzle with icing. It’s a great option for brunch, dessert, or even a sweet snack.

Key Ingredients and Substitutions

Crescent Roll Dough – The perfect flaky base. You can use store-bought crescent rolls or a homemade dough.
Butter – Adds richness and helps the cinnamon-sugar mixture stick.
Cinnamon Sugar – The heart of this recipe. A mix of cinnamon and granulated sugar gives that classic warm sweetness.
Vanilla Glaze – A simple powdered sugar and vanilla icing adds the perfect finishing touch.

How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Pizza

Step 1: Preheat and Prep 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 form a solid sheet.

Step 2: Brush with Butter

Melt butter and brush it evenly over the entire surface of the dough. This helps create a golden, flavorful crust.

Step 3: Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar

In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough, covering the entire surface.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crisp around the edges.

Step 5: Drizzle with Glaze

While the pizza is cooling slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk to make a simple glaze. Drizzle it over the warm pizza for the perfect finishing touch.

Step 6: Slice and Serve

Cut into squares or triangles and enjoy while warm!

Expert Tips for the Best Cinnamon Sugar Pizza

Use fresh crescent roll dough – It bakes up lighter and flakier.
Don’t skimp on the butter – It helps the cinnamon sugar stick and adds flavor.
Let it cool slightly before glazing – This prevents the icing from melting too quickly.

Serving Suggestions

This pizza is amazing on its own, but you can also:

Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Pair with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa for a cozy treat.
Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts for some crunch.
