A sweet and fluffy cinnamon sugar dessert pizza made with soft yeast dough and topped with melted butter, cinnamon sugar, and an optional vanilla glaze. Perfect for cozy dessert cravings or family-style sharing.
Ingredients
- For the dough:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- For the cinnamon sugar topping:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Optional vanilla glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add oil and salt, then gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a round baking or pizza pan.
- Punch down the dough and press it evenly into the prepared pan (10–12 inches wide).
- Brush with melted butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the top.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is cooked through.
- If using glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over warm pizza.
- Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Use a thermometer to ensure water is warm enough to activate the yeast.
- Customize with nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips.
- The dough can be made ahead and chilled overnight.
- Great for breakfast, dessert, or sweet snack time.
- Let the pizza cool slightly before glazing for best texture.
