Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ cup cold butter
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Spices and Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) cinnamon
- 1 ¼ teaspoons (6.25 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1 dash salt
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) softened butter
- 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons (15 to 22.5 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C), creating an ideal environment for transforming crescent rolls into a delectable dessert pizza.
- Craft the cinnamon-sugar crumble by combining cold butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and flour in a mixing bowl. Crush and blend ingredients using a fork until the mixture resembles coarse, loose crumbs.
- Carefully unfurl the crescent roll dough, separating each triangle onto an ungreased baking sheet, ensuring they are spread evenly.
- Generously distribute the prepared cinnamon-sugar crumble across the surface of each dough triangle, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the pizza to bake for 8-12 minutes until the edges turn a rich, golden-brown color.
- During baking, whisk together powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and milk in a separate bowl, creating a silky, smooth glaze.
- Immediately after removing the golden-brown crescent pizza from the oven, drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm surface, allowing it to cascade and settle into the crispy texture.
- Let the glazed pizza rest for a few minutes, permitting the glaze to slightly set and the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Prep Like a Pro: Ensure all ingredients are cold and measured accurately for the perfect crumbly sugar mixture that creates that irresistible sweet texture.
- Dough Handling Hack: Gently separate crescent roll triangles to maintain their delicate shape and prevent tearing for a beautiful presentation.
- Baking Brilliance: Watch the golden-brown color closely during the 8-12 minute baking window to prevent overcooking and maintain a tender, flaky crust.
- Glaze Game Changer: Mix the glaze ingredients until completely smooth for a silky, glossy finish that drapes beautifully over the warm pastry.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the pizza cool slightly after glazing to allow the topping to set and enhance the overall flavor and texture experience.
- Storage Tip: Enjoy fresh for the best taste, but if storing, keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two days.
