Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Spices and Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Prepare the baking surface by lightly greasing a sheet pan or pizza pan, then preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
- Carefully unfurl the crescent roll dough onto the prepared pan, gently stretching it to create a uniform rectangular or circular shape. Meticulously seal all seam lines to ensure a smooth, cohesive crust.
- Transform the dough’s surface by generously coating it with melted butter, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Craft a sweet spice mixture by combining granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then liberally dust the buttered dough with this aromatic blend.
- Position the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust achieves a golden, crispy exterior.
- During baking, whip together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a silky, smooth icing.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, embellish the warm pizza with decorative icing drizzles, creating artistic zigzag or swirling patterns.
- Allow the dessert pizza to cool briefly, then slice and serve while still warm for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose low-fat crescent rolls for a lighter version that reduces overall calorie content.
- Swap traditional butter with coconut oil or plant-based margarine for dairy-free alternative.
- Try alternative sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia to reduce sugar intake for diabetic-friendly option.
- Add chopped nuts like almonds or pecans on top for extra crunch and nutritional boost before baking.
