Sweet and Crunchy Cinnamon-Sugar Pizza Recipe
Ingredients:
- Pizza Dough:
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Crunchy Topping:
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or cornflakes
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional: pecans or walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Drizzle:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
- Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough, ensuring even coverage.
- Add the Crunchy Topping:
- In another small bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers or cornflakes, chopped nuts (if using), brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cinnamon-sugar layer on the dough.
- Bake:
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the toppings are bubbling and slightly caramelized.
- Prepare the Drizzle:
- While the pizza is baking, prepare the drizzle by mixing the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed. The drizzle should be smooth and pourable.
- Finish the Pizza:
- Once the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Drizzle the sweet glaze over the warm pizza.
- Serve:
- Slice the cinnamon-sugar pizza into wedges and serve warm.
Enjoy your sweet and crunchy cinnamon-sugar pizza!
