Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Butter

  • 1 store-bought Pizza dough
  • 2 tbsp Butter (room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp Butter (melted)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon
  • ¼ cup Flour
  • ⅓ cup White sugar
  • ½ cup Brown sugar (packed)

Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the pizza crust and topping to perfection.
  2. Prepare Pan: Brush a pizza or sheet pan with ½ tablespoon of melted butter to prevent sticking and add richness to the crust.
  3. Make Crumble Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, 1½ teaspoons of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of room-temperature butter. Mix until the mixture becomes crumbly and set aside.
  4. Place Dough: Lay the pizza dough onto the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly to form your pizza base.
  5. Butter the Dough: Brush the surface of the dough with the remaining ½ tablespoon of melted butter to add moisture and flavor.
  6. Add Cinnamon: Sprinkle the remaining ½ tablespoon of cinnamon evenly over the buttered dough for a lovely cinnamon aroma and flavor base.
  7. Top with Crumble: Spread the prepared crumble mixture evenly over the dough to create a sweet, crunchy topping.
  8. Bake: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the topping is bubbly and cooked through.
  9. Prepare Glaze: While the pizza bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth to make the glaze.
  10. Cool: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes to allow the topping to set slightly before glazing.
  11. Glaze the Pizza: Drizzle the prepared glaze generously over the cooled pizza, enhancing the sweetness and adding a creamy texture.
  12. Serve: Slice the cinnamon pizza into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious dessert or snack.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for the crumble to achieve a perfect crumbly texture.
  • Letting the pizza cool slightly before glazing prevents the glaze from melting off immediately.
  • This dessert can be served warm or at room temperature, both offering a delightful experience.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
  • For added texture, consider sprinkling chopped nuts or raisins on top of the crumble before baking.
