Equipment

• Oven
• Small Mixing Bowl
• Knife
• Pizza pan or sheet pan

Ingredients

  

• 1 store-bought Pizza dough
• 2 tbsp Butter room temperature
• 1 tbsp Cinnamon
• ¼ cup Flour
• ⅓ cup White sugar
• ½ cup Brown sugar packed
• 1 tbsp Butter melted
• 1 cup powdered Sugar
• 3 tbsp Milk
• 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
• Brush a pizza pan or sheet pan with ½ tablespoon of melted butter.
• In a medium bowl, mix together flour, white sugar, brown sugar, 1½ teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons room-temperature butter until crumbly. Set aside.
• Place pizza dough on the prepared pan.
• Brush dough with ½ tablespoon melted butter.
• Sprinkle remaining cinnamon evenly over the dough.
• Spread crumble mixture evenly over the dough.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until crust is golden and topping is bubbly.
• While pizza bakes, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl for the glaze.
• Let pizza cool for about 10 minutes.
• Drizzle glaze over the pizza.
• Slice and serve.

Notes

• Make sure to spread the melted butter all the way to the edges of the dough. This helps the cinnamon sugar stick better.
• Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon over the brushed dough to ensure every bite is filled with its warm, aromatic flavor.
• Keep a close eye on the baking time to achieve a perfect balance of a crispy and golden crust. Overbaking can make the pizza dry and too crunchy, while underbaking might leave the dough too soft.
