Introduction

This Cinnamon Pizza is a delightful twist on a classic favorite, combining the warm flavors of cinnamon and sugar with a soft, buttery crust. It’s an easy-to-make dessert perfect for sharing with family and friends.

A round dessert pizza is cut into eight equal slices on a white plate placed on a white marbled surface. The base layer shows a golden-brown crust with slightly raised edges. The middle layer has a light brown cinnamon sugar spread evenly across the top, creating a granular texture. On top, there are white icing drizzle lines drawn diagonally across each slice, adding a smooth and glossy contrast to the cinnamon layer.

Ingredients

1 store-bought pizza dough
2 tbsp butter (room temperature)

1 tbsp cinnamon
¼ cup flour

⅓ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar (packed)

1 tbsp butter (melted)
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tbsp milk

1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Step 2: Brush a pizza pan or sheet pan with ½ tablespoon of the melted butter.

Step 3: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, 1½ teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons room-temperature butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set aside.
Step 4: Place the pizza dough on the prepared pan.
Step 5: Brush the dough evenly with the remaining ½ tablespoon melted butter.

Step 6: Sprinkle the remaining ½ tablespoon of cinnamon evenly over the dough.
Step 7: Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the top of the dough.
Step 8: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the topping is bubbly.

Step 9: While the pizza bakes, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl to create the glaze.
Step 10: Allow the pizza to cool for about 10 minutes after baking.
Step 11: Drizzle the glaze over the pizza.

Step 12: Slice and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

For extra texture, try adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping.
Use cream cheese mixed with a little powdered sugar as an alternative glaze for a richer finish.

If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of white or brown sugar in the crumble.
Make sure your butter is at room temperature for the crumble to mix evenly and achieve the right texture.

Storage

Store leftover cinnamon pizza in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a warm oven (about 300°F) for 5 minutes to crisp the crust again before serving. Avoid refrigerating as it may dry out the pizza.

FAQs

Can I make this cinnamon pizza with homemade dough?

Absolutely! Homemade pizza dough works well and can add extra flavor and freshness. Just roll it out to a similar thickness as store-bought dough for best results.

What can I substitute for brown sugar in the crumble?

If you don’t have brown sugar, use an equal amount of white sugar with a teaspoon of molasses mixed in to mimic the flavor and moisture of brown sugar.
