    Servings and Ingredients

    Ingredients
    Serves 6
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    ¼ c. Hy-Vee granulated sugar
    1 ½ tsp. Hy-Vee ground cinnamon
    ¼ tsp. Hy-Vee ground nutmeg
    1 (13.8-oz.) tube Hy-Vee refrigerated pizza dough
    2 tbsp. Hy-Vee unsalted butter, melted
    Coarse sanding sugar, green, purple, and gold

    Things To Grab

    • Large baking sheet
    • Parchment paper
    • Small bowl
    • Silicone pastry brush
    • Sharp knife

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

    2. In a small bowl, stir together sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until combined; set aside. 

    3. Unroll pizza dough and press into a 12x14-inch rectangle. Brush butter on to dough leaving a 1/4-inch boarder on each side. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Starting at the long end, roll dough into a tight log and pinch seams together.
