Can I make cinnamon sugar pizza ahead of time?

While it's best served warm and fresh, you can prepare the dough and cinnamon-sugar topping in advance. Assemble the pizza up to the point of baking, then refrigerate (covered) for up to 6 hours. Bake just before serving, and drizzle the glaze after it comes out of the oven for the freshest flavor and texture.

How do I store leftovers of crescent roll cinnamon sugar pizza?

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place slices in a toaster oven or microwave for a few seconds. Avoid over-reheating to prevent the crust from becoming too chewy. You can also freeze individual slices wrapped in parchment paper for up to one month.

Can I use homemade dough instead of crescent rolls?

Absolutely! If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can use homemade crescent dough or even pizza dough as a base. Just make sure to roll it thin and bake until golden. Keep in mind that homemade dough may require a longer baking time, so monitor it closely to avoid under- or over-baking.

Instructions

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 and pinch the seams together to create a single, flat layer.
Brush the entire surface of the dough with the melted butter.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and slightly crispy.
While the pizza bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to make the glaze. Adjust the milk to reach your desired consistency.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cinnamon sugar pizza.
Slice and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

For extra sweetness, sprinkle a little brown sugar or chopped nuts before baking.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent twist.
Pinch the dough seams firmly to avoid separation during baking.
Best served warm, but can be stored and reheated as needed.
