Ingredients
- For the Base:
- 13.8 oz refrigerated pizza crust e.g., Pillsbury
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- For the Streusel Topping:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- ½ cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- For the Icing:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a pizza pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough onto the prepared pan.
- Spread the butter: Evenly spread the softened butter over the dough.
- Add cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine cold, cubed butter, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Add the streusel: Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping evenly over the cinnamon-sugar mixture on the dough.
- Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 9–10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Cool: Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 5–10 minutes.
- Prepare the icing: While the pizza is cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Drizzle and serve: Drizzle the prepared icing over the warm pizza. Slice into 8 pieces and serve.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, bake the pizza a few minutes longer until the edges are golden brown.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and are best enjoyed within 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
