Ingredients

1 store-bought pizza dough
2 tbsp butter (room temperature)
1 tbsp cinnamon
¼ cup flour
⅓ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar (packed)
1 tbsp butter (melted)
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Step 2: Brush a pizza pan or sheet pan with ½ tablespoon of the melted butter to prevent sticking.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine flour, white sugar, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of room-temperature butter. Mix until the mixture is crumbly, then set aside.
Step 4: Place the pizza dough onto the prepared pan.
Step 5: Brush the dough evenly with the remaining ½ tablespoon of melted butter.
Step 6: Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon evenly over the buttered dough.
Step 7: Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the dough.
Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the topping is bubbly.
Step 9: While the pizza bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl to make the glaze.
Step 10: After baking, allow the pizza to cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 11: Drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the cooled pizza.
Step 12: Slice and serve while still slightly warm.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, add chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts to the crumble mixture before baking.
If you prefer a fruitier touch, sprinkle thinly sliced apples or pears on the dough before adding the crumble topping.
Substitute maple syrup for the vanilla glaze for a different sweet flavor.
Make sure your butter is softened but not melted when mixing the crumble for best texture.

Storage

Store any leftover cinnamon pizza in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep it fresh longer, refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or toaster oven to keep the crust crisp. Avoid microwaving as it can make the crust soft.

FAQs

Can I use homemade pizza dough instead of store-bought?

Yes, homemade pizza dough works well for this recipe. Just roll it out to a similar thickness as store-bought dough and follow the instructions as usual.

Is it necessary to use both white and brown sugar?

Using both sugars adds complexity: brown sugar gives moistness and a deeper flavor, while white sugar adds sweetness and helps with crisping the crumble. You can experiment with just one type if preferred, but the texture and flavor may vary slightly.
