Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough and Topping
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it ready for baking the pizza crust evenly and to a golden finish.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a greased or parchment-lined pizza pan for easy handling and baking.
- Add the butter and cinnamon sugar: Brush the melted butter evenly over the pizza dough surface. Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough, ensuring full coverage.
- Bake the pizza: Place the prepared dough in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and is cooked through.
- Prepare the glaze: While the pizza is baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to create a smooth vanilla glaze.
- Finish and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm pizza, slice into 8 wedges, and serve immediately for the best warm, sweet experience.
Notes
- For extra sweetness, sprinkle mini chocolate chips or drizzle caramel sauce on top before serving.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the pizza dough alone for 5 minutes before adding the butter and cinnamon sugar topping.
