Ingredients You’ll Need

Serves 6–8

For the Base:

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (or crescent sheet if available)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter , melted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2–3 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

• Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
• Sprinkles
• Shredded coconut

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

1. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. If using crescent triangles, pinch the seams together to form a single, solid sheet (like a pizza crust). Stretch or roll it slightly to create an even circle or rectangle.

Step 3: Add Butter and Cinnamon-Sugar

1. Brush the melted butter evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
2. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture generously over the buttered dough, ensuring an even layer.

Step 4: Cut into Slices

1. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 8–12 wedges (like slicing a pizza). For smaller, bite-sized pieces, cut the dough into squares or rectangles instead.
2. Carefully twist each slice 1–2 times to create a swirled effect, then arrange them back into a circular or rectangular shape, slightly overlapping the pieces.

Step 5: Bake

1. Bake for 10–12 minutes , or until the edges are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.

Step 6: Make the Glaze

1. While the pizza bakes, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the milk for your desired consistency (thicker for drizzling, thinner for pouring).

Step 7: Glaze and Decorate

1. Once the pizza is out of the oven, let it cool for 2–3 minutes. Drizzle the glaze generously over the top.
2. Add optional toppings like chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut while the glaze is still wet so they stick.

Step 8: Serve

1. Slice into pieces and serve warm. Enjoy the gooey, pull-apart goodness!

Why This Recipe Works

• Buttery Crescent Rolls : The pre-made dough provides a flaky, buttery base that’s quick and foolproof.
• Cinnamon-Sugar Magic : The classic combo of cinnamon and sugar creates a warm, comforting flavor.
• Pull-Apart Fun : Twisting the dough before baking adds texture and makes it interactive to eat.

Variations to Try

• Add Cream Cheese Filling : Spread softened cream cheese over the dough before adding the butter and cinnamon-sugar for a rich, cheesecake-like twist.
• Chocolate Lover’s Version : Sprinkle chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate over the baked pizza before adding the glaze.
• Fruit Topping : Add sliced bananas, apples, or berries before baking for a fruity twist.
• Savory Option : Skip the cinnamon-sugar and top with marinara, cheese, and pepperoni for a savory pizza version.
• Gluten-Free Option : Use gluten-free crescent roll dough or substitute with a homemade gluten-free dough.

Tips for Success

• Pinch Seams Well : If using crescent triangles, pinch the seams tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
• Don’t Over-Twist : Twist the slices gently to avoid breaking the dough.
• Storage : Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave if desired.

Serving Suggestions

• Romantic Touch : Garnish with edible flowers or a dusting of powdered sugar for elegance.
• Brunch Staple : Pair with coffee, tea, or hot cocoa for a cozy breakfast treat.
• Party Platter : Serve alongside other desserts like cookies, brownies, or fruit skewers for variety.
