Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough
- 1 ball of store-bought or homemade pizza dough (about 12 oz)
Topping
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Surface: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Roll Out Dough: Roll the pizza dough into a 10 to 12-inch circle or oval shape. Transfer it carefully to the prepared baking sheet or stone.
- Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the entire surface of the rolled-out dough with the melted unsalted butter. This helps the cinnamon sugar mixture stick and enhances flavor.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly 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, or until the edges turn golden brown and the dough is fully cooked through.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the pizza is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Drizzle Glaze and Serve: After removing the pizza from the oven, immediately drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the warm pizza. Let it cool slightly, then slice into 8 pieces and serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- For added sweetness, sprinkle brown sugar or mini chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to turn it into an indulgent dessert pizza.
