Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Optional Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet.
- Roll or stretch the pizza dough into a round or rectangular shape and place it on the prepared pan. Brush lightly with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together.
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously on top.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the sugar is bubbly.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the warm pizza if desired.
- Allow the pizza to cool slightly, then slice and serve.
Description
This Sweet Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza features a soft, chewy base topped with a rich buttery layer
and perfectly balanced cinnamon sweetness. The sugar caramelizes as it bakes, creating a
lightly crisp surface, while the optional glaze adds a smooth, creamy finish.
Tips
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- For extra richness, substitute the vanilla glaze with a cream cheese glaze.
- Add chopped nuts, raisins, or mini chocolate chips for added texture.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and soft texture.
Correction (Common Mistakes to Avoid)
- Avoid using too much sugar, as it may burn before the crust fully bakes.
- Do not bake at excessively high temperatures to prevent a hard crust.
- Spread the butter evenly to avoid dry or unevenly baked areas.
Enjoy
Enjoy your Sweet Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza fresh from the oven with a cup of coffee or tea,
or pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. Every slice
delivers cozy sweetness and comforting flavor.
