For the Dough and Topping:
- 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
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat and prepare the pan. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly brush a pizza pan or sheet pan with 1/2 tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Make the crumb topping. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of room-temperature butter. Mix until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set this aside for now.
- Prepare the dough. Place your store-bought pizza dough on the buttered pan. Brush the dough with the melted butter (1/2 tablespoon). Then, sprinkle the remaining cinnamon evenly over the dough to infuse that warm cinnamon flavor into the base.
- Add the crumble and bake. Spread the crumb topping evenly over the cinnamon-sprinkled dough. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and the dough is cooked through.
- Make the glaze. While the pizza bakes, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
- Finish and serve. After baking, allow the cinnamon sugar pizza to cool for about 10 minutes. Then, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top. Slice into portions and serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Be sure not to overbake to keep the crumble topping crunchy and the dough soft.
- Use fresh cinnamon for the best flavor impact.
- For a richer glaze, substitute milk with half-and-half or cream.
- Letting the pizza cool slightly before glazing helps the glaze to set more evenly.
- This dessert pizza pairs great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
