Why I Love This Recipe

It takes less than 20 minutes start to finish, uses pantry staples, and tastes like a cinnamon roll in pizza form. The crescent dough bakes up crisp on the outside and soft inside, while the cinnamon sugar melts into a gooey, golden layer. It’s perfect for kids, potlucks, or spontaneous sweet cravings—no kneading or rising required.
