I have thought about making just about everything under the Sun with Pillsbury canned pop dough, but I never in my wildest imagination thought I would be making Cinnamon Rolls with Pillsbury Pizza Dough! Yes, not just any cinnamon rolls, but a delicious batch of heart-shaped cinnamon rolls for Valentine’s Day. and I was going to use pop dough pizza crust! I just love the iconic little Pop-N-Fresh Pilsbury Dough Boy, when he lept out of the can and onto the counter and the lady pokes his little tummy and he giggles so sweetly! Yes, those were the days my friends, and I was going to let my little buddy Pop-N-Fresh take over my kitchen, I was so excited! I started this wonderful cinnamon roll adventure by freeing my cute little buddy from his biscuit can! The ingredients are so basic, there’s no way to go wrong!
Ingredients:
- 1 Can Pillsbury Pizza Dough
- 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or caramel sauce for serving (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick mat. Then unroll pizza dough on a work surface and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar evenly across.
Using your fingertips, roll up the dough halfway on each horizontal side meeting in the middle (this makes your heart shape), the two rolls should be touching.
Using a sharp knife, cut roll into 1 inch segments and place them face up on a baking sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden, then remove from oven and enjoy.
These heart shaped cinnamon rolls are so delicious and perfect for Valentine’s Day.
