Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (16 ounces) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Topping Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Finishing Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 400F (200C) to ensure optimal baking conditions for the dessert pizza.
- Gently stretch the pizza dough on a lightly dusted work surface, creating a thin, even circular base approximately 14 inch thick.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl, thoroughly blending the two ingredients to create a fragrant, sweet coating.
- Generously apply melted butter across the entire surface of the stretched dough, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- Liberally distribute the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered dough, creating a rich, even layer that will caramelize during baking.
- Transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown transformation that signals perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and allow the dessert pizza to rest briefly, then slice into triangular wedges for an inviting and easy-to-serve treat best enjoyed while still warm.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the sugar-to-cinnamon ratio for a more intense or subtle flavor profile.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free pizza dough to accommodate different dietary needs and add nutritional variety.
- Create a crispy texture by rolling the dough extra thin and ensuring the oven is fully preheated before baking.
- Elevate the dessert by drizzling cream cheese glaze or melted chocolate over the warm cinnamon-sugar pizza for added indulgence.
