Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Pizza Base Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
Topping and Icing Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup (66 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup (50 grams) brown sugar
- ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 12 tablespoons (180 milliliters) milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375F (190C), creating an ideal environment for transforming pizza dough into a golden, crispy dessert.
- Gently stretch the pizza dough on a lightly dusted surface, forming a smooth, even canvas for the sweet creation.
- Massage softened butter across the entire surface of the dough, ensuring complete coverage while leaving a small margin around the edges.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl, then lavishly dust the buttered dough with the fragrant mixture, creating a uniform coating.
- Transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated oven, allowing it to bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn a rich golden brown and the cinnamon-sugar topping caramelizes slightly.
- Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest momentarily to cool and set its crispy texture.
- Optional: Embellish the warm pizza with a delicate drizzle of icing or a graceful dollop of whipped cream for additional decadence.
- Slice the pizza into triangular or rectangular pieces, presenting a tempting dessert that can be enjoyed independently or paired with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Perfectly Crisp Base: Use a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet to achieve an extra-crispy, golden-brown crust that won’t become soggy.
- Sugar Caramelization Control: Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly and watch closely during baking to prevent burning, as sugar can quickly turn from golden to burnt.
- Dairy-Free Adaptation: Swap butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine to make the recipe suitable for lactose-intolerant or vegan diners.
- Gluten-Free Option: Replace traditional pizza dough with cauliflower crust or gluten-free pre-made dough to accommodate those with wheat sensitivities.
