Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Crescent Roll Dough: Use refrigerated dough for ease; it’s light and flaky, providing the perfect base.
  • Granulated Sugar: Regular white sugar works best here; it caramelizes beautifully under heat.
  • Cinnamon: Opt for ground cinnamon for its warm flavor—it’s the star of the show!
  • Butter: Melted unsalted butter adds richness and helps the topping stick beautifully.
  • Powdered Sugar (optional): A sprinkle on top enhances sweetness and gives a lovely finish.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking—your future self will thank you!

Prepare the Dough: Open the tube of crescent roll dough carefully; unrolling can feel like unwrapping a surprise gift! Lay out the dough in a rectangle on your prepared baking sheet.

Create the Cinnamon Mixture: In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar with ground cinnamon until well blended—this magical duo will create pure happiness.

Spread Butter on Dough: Brush melted butter generously over the dough; don’t be shy! The butter will help everything stick together while adding rich flavor.

Add Cinnamon Mixture: Sprinkle your cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough, covering every corner like confetti at a celebration!

Bake Until Golden Brown: Place in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown and bubbly—the smell will be heavenly!

Cool and Serve: Let your creation cool slightly before slicing into squares. Optionally dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance!
