FAQs
Can I use homemade crescent roll dough?
Yes, homemade crescent roll dough can be used. Ensure it’s rolled out to a similar thickness as the refrigerated version for even baking.
Can I make this ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the crumble topping and glaze in advance. Assemble and bake just before serving.
Can I freeze the baked pizza?
Freezing is not recommended as the texture of the crescent roll crust may change upon thawing.
What can I use instead of crescent roll dough?
Puff pastry or pizza dough can be used as alternatives, though the texture and flavor will differ slightly.
yeyfood.com
Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes, by using gluten-free crescent roll dough and ensuring all other ingredients are gluten-free.
How do I prevent the glaze from being too runny?
Add milk gradually to the powdered sugar and butter mixture until the desired consistency is achieved.
Can I add a cream cheese layer?
Yes, spreading a thin layer of sweetened cream cheese over the dough before adding the crumble topping adds richness.
Is it necessary to use both granulated and brown sugar?
Using both sugars adds depth of flavor, but you can use only one type if preferred.
Can I make mini versions?
Yes, cut the dough into smaller portions and adjust the baking time accordingly.
What other toppings can I add?
Consider adding dried fruits, such as raisins or cranberries, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
