how to make Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza
Ingredients :
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions :
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or pizza pan.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the seams together gently to create a solid sheet of dough, forming a round or rectangular pizza shape.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Brush the melted butter evenly over the crescent roll dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the dough is cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk; if it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm cinnamon-sugar pizza. Slice and serve while warm for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy!
