Description

Crisp, golden cinnamon-sugar pizza dazzles with sweet simplicity, turning classic Italian fare into a delightful dessert. Warm spices and caramelized sugar create an irresistible treat for breakfast or a comforting afternoon snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 6 tbsps (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Oven Preparation: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C) and position a rack in the center, lining a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
  2. Dough Creation: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, then incorporate milk and melted butter, stirring until a cohesive dough forms, then gently stretch and shape into a 10-12 inch circular base on the prepared pan.
  3. Cinnamon-Sugar Layer: Generously brush the dough surface with melted butter, then liberally sprinkle a harmonious blend of brown sugar and ground cinnamon across the entire pizza foundation.
  4. Baking Process: Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, monitoring until the edges transform into a rich, golden-brown hue and the surface appears lightly crisp.
  5. Vanilla Glaze Finishing: While the pizza cools slightly, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and pure vanilla extract until achieving a silky, smooth glaze consistency.
  6. Final Presentation: Artfully drizzle the vanilla glaze across the warm cinnamon-sugar pizza, creating elegant swirls, then slice into wedges and serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Roll dough evenly to ensure consistent baking and prevent soggy or burnt edges.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture lightly to prevent burning and create a perfect golden-brown topping.
  • Add milk gradually to achieve desired drizzling texture – thicker for more controlled flow, thinner for lighter coverage.
  • Enjoy immediately after baking to experience the best crispy crust and melted sugar texture.
