Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Pizza dough: 1 batch, store-bought or homemade
  • Butter: 3 tablespoons, melted
  • Cinnamon: 2 teaspoons, ground
  • Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup
  • Optional vanilla extract: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Optional powdered sugar: for dusting after baking

Optional Toppings

  • Fruit slices (apples, pears, berries): as desired
  • Chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds): as desired
  • Caramel or chocolate drizzle: as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin, even circle or rectangle, depending on your baking sheet size.
  2. Melt and spread butter: Melt the butter and evenly brush it all over the surface of the dough, making sure each corner is coated to help the topping stick and create a golden crust.
  3. Mix cinnamon and sugar: In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and granulated sugar, adjusting the amounts to your preferred sweetness and spice level. Add vanilla extract if using and mix well.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar blend across the buttered dough, covering the entire surface for uniform flavor in every bite.
  5. Bake until golden and crisp: Place the prepared dough on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the topping bubbles slightly.
  6. Cool and add finishing touches: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes on a wire rack, then dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with your favorite sauce if desired, before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier spreading and better topping distribution.
  • Roll out the dough thinly for a crispier crust that contrasts with the sweet topping.
  • Watch the pizza closely during baking to prevent the cinnamon sugar from burning.
  • Experiment by mixing brown sugar with granulated sugar for a richer flavor.
  • Serve warm, fresh from the oven, for the best taste and texture.
