Ingredients
Scale
- Sugar Crumb Crispies
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Dash of salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- Base
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
- Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp softened butter
- 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature ensures the crescent rolls will bake up flaky and golden while the sugar crumb topping becomes crisp and caramelized.
- Prepare the sugar crumb mixture: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup cold butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, a dash of salt, and 1/2 cup flour. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The cold butter is essential for creating a crumbly texture.
- Arrange the dough: Open the can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and separate the dough into triangles. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet, arranging them in a circular pattern if desired for a pizza-like appearance.
- Add the topping: Sprinkle the prepared sugar crumb mixture evenly over the dough triangles, covering the surface completely. Press gently to help the topping adhere to the dough.
- Bake to perfection: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the topping is slightly crisp. Watch carefully to prevent burning, as the sugar can caramelize quickly.
- Make the glaze: While the pizza is baking, prepare the glaze by combining 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tbsp softened butter, 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp milk in a small bowl. Mix until smooth. Add the remaining 1/2 tbsp milk if needed to achieve a pourable consistency.
- Finish and serve: Remove the baked cinnamon-sugar pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm pizza in a decorative pattern. Serve warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- For a different flavor variation, try adding 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg or cardamom to the sugar crumb mixture.
- This dessert pizza can be made ahead of time and reheated in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, though it’s best enjoyed fresh.
- You can substitute the crescent rolls with pizza dough for a different texture.
