Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
For the Topping
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup icing sugar (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even baking.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into an even circle or rectangle, depending on your preference and baking sheet size.
- Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the entire surface of the rolled-out dough with the melted butter. This adds richness and helps the cinnamon sugar stick.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon until fully combined.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered dough, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the cinnamon sugar pizza on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Add Icing Sugar Drizzle (Optional): Once baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the icing sugar over the pizza for added sweetness and a beautiful finishing touch. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Use store-bought refrigerated pizza dough for convenience or make your own homemade dough for a fresher taste.
- The icing sugar drizzle is optional but adds a lovely sweetness and decorative effect.
- For an extra gooey treat, consider adding a layer of cream cheese or honey before sprinkling cinnamon sugar.
- Serve this dessert warm for the best texture and flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container; reheat briefly in the oven for crispness.
