Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4 fl oz) flour
  • ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) cold butter
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) softened butter
  • 1 to 1 ½ tbsps (15 to 22.5 ml / 0.5 to 0.75 fl oz) milk
  • 1 ¼ tsps (6.25 ml) vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) cinnamon
  • 1 dash salt

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), establishing the perfect baking environment for this sweet treat.
  2. Crumble Creation: In a mixing bowl, combine cold butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and flour. Use a fork to blend ingredients until they form coarse, crumbly texture.
  3. Dough Arrangement: Spread crescent roll dough triangles evenly on an ungreased baking sheet, ensuring complete coverage of the surface.
  4. Cinnamon-Sugar Layering: Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon-sugar crumble generously across each dough triangle, creating a rich, sweet coating.
  5. Baking Process: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes until the edges transform into a golden-brown, crispy perfection.
  6. Glaze Preparation: Simultaneously, whisk powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and milk in a separate bowl to craft a silky, smooth glaze.
  7. Final Touch: Immediately after removing from the oven, drizzle the glaze over the warm pizza, allowing it to cascade and settle into the crisp surface.
  8. Serving: Allow the glazed pizza to rest briefly, letting the glaze set and flavors harmonize before indulging in this delightful dessert.

Notes

  • Butter Precision: Use cold butter for the crumble to achieve a perfectly crumbly texture that doesn’t melt too quickly.
  • Dough Handling: Gently separate crescent roll triangles to maintain their delicate structure and prevent tearing.
  • Baking Watch: Monitor pizza closely during the 8-12 minute baking window to prevent burning and ensure golden-brown perfection.
  • Glaze Technique: Drizzle warm glaze immediately after baking while the pizza is still hot for maximum flavor absorption and ideal consistency.
