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!
