Let’s start by gathering your ingredients and getting the dough ready for baking.

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• Optional toppings: cream cheese, fruit preserves, or drizzle of icing

These basic ingredients combine to create a sweet, flaky base with a perfect cinnamon sugar crunch. The optional toppings let you take this treat to the next level if you want to add creaminess or fruity sweetness. STEP 1: PREHEAT YOUR OVEN AND PREPARE THE BAKING SHEET Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. STEP 2: PREPARE THE CRESCENT DOUGH Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it out gently into a flat rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. Pinch the seams together carefully to form one even layer, so it bakes evenly without gaps.

  STEP 3: BRUSH WITH MELTED BUTTER Brush the surface of the dough evenly with the melted butter. This step adds flavor and helps the cinnamon sugar stick beautifully to the dough.

  SPRINKLE, BAKE, AND TOP YOUR EASY CINNAMON SUGAR PIZZA With your crescent roll dough flattened and brushed with butter, it’s time to add the sweet cinnamon sugar layer and bake this easy dessert pizza to golden, flaky perfection. This step is where the magic happens—transforming simple ingredients into a warm, irresistible treat. Let’s walk through the next steps to finish your cinnamon sugar pizza. STEP 4: MIX AND SPRINKLE CINNAMON SUGAR In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously and evenly over the buttered dough. The sugar caramelizes during baking, while the cinnamon adds that warm, cozy flavor we all love. STEP 5: BAKE UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is puffed, golden brown, and cooked through. Keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking—the edges should be crispy, and the center soft and flaky. STEP 6: COOL AND ADD OPTIONAL TOPPINGS Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. If you want to take this treat up a notch, spread cream cheese or fruit preserves over the warm crust, or drizzle with icing. These toppings add creaminess and extra sweetness that pair beautifully with the cinnamon sugar base.

  STEP 7: SLICE AND SERVE Slice your cinnamon sugar pizza into squares or triangles—whatever you prefer—and serve warm. This dessert is perfect for sharing and makes a wonderful sweet snack or quick breakfast treat.
