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!
how to serve Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza
Serve it warm for the best taste and texture. You can cut it into triangles or squares. It’s great on its own, but you can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an extra special treat.
how to store Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, keep it in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze it for up to three months. Just reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
