This image shows a cinnamon streusel flatbread cut into square and rectangular pieces, placed on a white parchment paper over a wooden board. The base layer is a golden-brown flatbread crust with a soft texture, topped evenly with a thick crumbly cinnamon streusel layer featuring various shades of light to dark brown. On top, there is a glaze drizzle that is white and slightly runny, contrasting with the crumbly streusel. The pieces are closely placed, showing some crumbs scattered around, and the background is a white marbled texture partly visible at the edges. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 store bought pizza dough
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly brush a pizza pan or sheet pan with 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
Step 2: In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, white sugar, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of room-temperature butter. Mix until the mixture becomes crumbly, then set aside.
Step 3: Place the pizza dough on the prepared pan. Brush the dough with 1/2 tablespoon of melted butter, then evenly sprinkle the remaining cinnamon over the top.
Step 4: Spread the crumbly sugar mixture over the pizza dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are golden and the topping is bubbly.
Step 5: While the pizza bakes, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together until smooth.
Step 6: Once the pizza is done, let it cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the top, slice, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the crumble mixture before baking.
If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or ground cloves to the cinnamon mixture.
Use cream cheese instead of glaze for a richer topping.

Storage

Store leftover cinnamon sugar pizza in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm in a low oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5 minutes to restore crispness. The glaze may soften, so consider adding a fresh drizzle after reheating.

How to Serve

Two square cinnamon crumb bars sit on a white plate with a blue decorative pattern. Each bar has a light golden base layer of soft dough topped with a thick crumble layer that is light to dark brown with a coarse texture. A drizzle of white icing runs unevenly over the crumb topping. The plate rests on a wooden surface next to a white bowl filled with more white icing and a gold spoon inside. In the background, a wooden cutting board with blue resin holds more crumb bars. A blue-striped cloth napkin is seen by the bowl. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use homemade pizza dough for this recipe?

Absolutely! Homemade dough works wonderfully and adds a personal touch. Just roll it out to your desired thickness before adding the toppings.

Is this dessert suitable for freezing?

While you can freeze the baked pizza, the glaze may not hold up well after thawing. It’s best to freeze before glazing, then thaw and add fresh glaze after reheating.
