Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Small mixing bowls
Whisk or fork
Pastry brush (optional)
Knife or pizza cutter
Tips for Success
Press the crescent roll seams together well so the filling doesn’t leak out.
Bake until golden brown for the perfect texture—don’t underbake.
Let it cool slightly before icing so it doesn’t melt right off.
Ingredients
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the sheet and press the seams together to form a single rectangle.
In a bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
While it bakes, whisk powdered sugar and milk together to form a glaze.
Once the pizza is slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Slice and serve warm.
Additional Tips or Variations
Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
Sprinkle mini chocolate chips before baking for a sweet twist.
Use flavored icing—like maple or orange—for seasonal variations.
