This Sweet and Crunchy Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza is a delightful dessert treat featuring a crispy golden pizza crust topped with a buttery cinnamon-sugar mixture and finished with a smooth vanilla glaze. Perfect for a cozy sweet snack or an easy dessert, it combines simple pantry ingredients with a quick baking method to deliver a crispy, flavorful pizza with a rich, sweet finish.


Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pound refrigerated pizza dough
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  2. Roll Out Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it carefully to the prepared pan, ensuring an even thickness.
  3. Butter the Dough: Using a brush, evenly spread the melted unsalted butter over the entire surface of the dough to enhance flavor and help the sugar adhere.
  4. Mix and Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Gently press it into the dough so it sticks well.
  5. Bake the Pizza: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: While the pizza bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth to create a sweet glaze.
  7. Cool and Glaze: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the warm pizza for a sweet finishing touch.
  8. Serve: Slice the cinnamon-sugar pizza into wedges and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, sprinkle a tablespoon of coarse sugar over the top before baking.
  • You can substitute the vanilla glaze with a cream cheese drizzle for a richer dessert experience.
  • This pizza is best enjoyed warm on the day it is made to preserve the crispness and flavor.
