Cinnamon Streusel Dessert Pizza

I love pizza and I love dessert!  That's why I loved this recipe!





Cinnamon Streusel Dessert Pizza
Homemade or store bought pizza dough
1 TBSP butter, melted
Cinnamon (to sprinkle)

PIZZA DOUGH
1 cup and 2 Tbsp hot water
2 1/2 tsp yeast
1 tsp sugar
3 cups flour
2 tsp salt

Mix water, yeast and sugar together in bowl and let sit for 5 minutes or until nice and foamy.  Slowly add in flour 1 cup at time and salt in between.  Knead with mixer or with hands for a few minutes.   Let rest for 20 minutes or until it doubles in size.  Form to the size of pizza you are wanting.
(Makes 1 large pizza with a thicker crust)

STREUSEL
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 TBSP vegetable shortening
2 TBSP oil

ICING
1 cup powdered sugar
1 TBSP milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 460° F. Mix together streusel ingredients with a fork then side aside.
To make pizza, pat dough into a 12 inch pizza pan that has been sprayed with oil.  Perforate pizza dough with a fork (this keeps bubbles from forming), then brush with 1 TBSP melted butter. Sprinkle cinnamon all around buttered crust. Top pizza crust with streusel mix, crumbling in your hands to make nice pea sized chunks.
Bake at 460° F for 8 to 9 minutes depending on the thickness of the pizza.  Mix icing ingredients until it is of a drizzle consistency. If it is too thick, then thin with a small amount of milk until you have reached your desired thinness.
When finished baking, top with icing in a circular pinwheel pattern. Cut up into triangles and enjoy.

MY NOTES
I love my pizza stone, so that's how I ended up cooking mine my pizza. The streusel mix makes alot so if your making one pizza I would half it, I wasted alot!  As for the icing 1 Tbsp milk was not enough to mix together so I added more, was not a fan of the flavor so I added 1 Tbsp of cream cheese and it  tasted much better!  Try not to over cook!

  11. I’m feeling hungry with this pizza recipe. It looks delightfully yummy! I’d love to try this, and put a little bit more icing on top of it. And I want to make the dough a little thinner. I am not a big fan of thick crusts. ->Fresh & Healthy Brands
