Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Topping
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, pressing the perforations together to form one solid rectangular dough base.
- Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the entire surface of the dough with the melted unsalted butter. This will help the cinnamon sugar mixture adhere and create a golden crust during baking.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon until fully blended.
- Sprinkle Topping: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture all over the buttered dough surface, ensuring full coverage for a consistent flavor.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Cut into 8 slices and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can add a drizzle of icing or melted cream cheese frosting on top after baking for extra sweetness.
- Use a pizza cutter for quick and clean slices.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, then reheat briefly before serving.
- This recipe is versatile; try adding chopped nuts, raisins, or a light spread of cream cheese under the cinnamon sugar topping.
