Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 ball of refrigerated pizza dough (about 1 lb)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the pizza.
- Roll Out Dough: Roll out the pizza dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone, shaping it into a 12-inch circle or rectangle.
- Butter the Dough: Brush the entire surface of the dough evenly with the melted unsalted butter to help toppings stick and add richness.
- Prepare Topping Mix: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt; sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
- Add Additional Toppings: Sprinkle brown sugar, crushed graham crackers, and chopped pecans (if using) evenly over the cinnamon sugar layer for extra crunch and flavor.
- Bake: Bake the pizza for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the sugar topping bubbles and caramelizes.
- Prepare Glaze: While the pizza is baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
- Cool and Glaze: Once baked, let the pizza cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle the prepared glaze evenly over the top.
- Serve: Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can use either store-bought or homemade pizza dough as per your convenience.
- For extra crunch, increase the amount of nuts or try drizzling with caramel sauce instead of the vanilla glaze.
- This dessert pizza is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven gently to warm before serving.
