Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) melted butter
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375°F (190°C), ensuring an even temperature for optimal baking.
- Carefully unfurl the crescent roll dough onto a parchment-covered baking sheet, methodically pressing the perforated edges together to create a seamless, uniform surface.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small mixing vessel, thoroughly blending the ingredients until they are perfectly integrated.
- Gently coat the entire dough surface with a layer of melted butter, using a pastry brush to ensure complete and even coverage.
- Liberally distribute the cinnamon-sugar mixture across the buttered dough, creating a consistent and generously sprinkled topping.
- Position the prepared sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown coloration that indicates perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pizza to rest momentarily, permitting slight cooling to stabilize the delicate pastry structure.
- Slice into attractive squares or triangular wedges, optionally embellishing with a delicate drizzle of powdered sugar for an elegant finishing touch.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality butter to enhance the richness and depth of flavor in this sweet dessert pizza.
- Transform this treat into a gluten-free version by using gluten-free crescent roll dough, ensuring everyone can enjoy the delightful cinnamon-sugar combination.
- Experiment with additional toppings like sliced almonds or a light cream cheese drizzle to add extra texture and complexity to the dessert.
- Keep a close eye on the baking time to prevent burning, as the sugar can caramelize quickly and potentially create a bitter taste if overcooked.
