Cinnamon Pizza is a sweet and comforting treat that’s easy to make. Imagine a soft pizza crust topped with a buttery, cinnamon-sugar crumble and finished with a sweet glaze. It’s perfect for dessert or a special snack.
To serve, let the pizza cool for about 10 minutes after baking, then drizzle the glaze on top and slice into 8 pieces. Each piece offers a delightful mix of crispy, soft, and sweet flavors.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, you can freeze the slices. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature and reheat in the oven for a few minutes.
Cinnamon Pizza Recipe
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.
