Ingredients

For the Cinnamon Pizza

2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Glaze

½ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a round pizza pan or baking sheet.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange the triangles in a circle on the pan, with the points facing inward. Overlap the edges slightly and press all seams together firmly to form one solid pizza crust.

Step 3: Add the Cinnamon Sugar

Brush the entire surface of the dough with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Make the Glaze

While the pizza bakes, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle the glaze over the warm crust. Slice and serve immediately.
