Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 prepared pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, about 14 oz/400g)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (whole or 2%)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, for glaze)
  • Optional: Chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: Mini chocolate chips
  • Optional: Fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough to a 12-inch round. If dough springs back, let it rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Lay parchment paper on your baking sheet or stone, then transfer the rolled-out dough onto it. If not using parchment, lightly oil the pan.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until a thick, spreadable paste forms.
  5. Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  6. Sprinkle with optional toppings like nuts, chocolate chips, or raisins if desired.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are golden and center is bubbly. Tent with foil if filling starts to burn.
  8. While pizza bakes, beat together cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then whisk in milk a tablespoon at a time until glaze is pourable. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
  9. Remove pizza from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
  10. Drizzle cream cheese glaze over warm pizza using a spoon or piping bag.
  11. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

Let dough come to room temperature before rolling for best results. For a crispier crust, bake directly on the stone for the last 2 minutes. Adjust glaze consistency by adding more powdered sugar (thicker) or milk (thinner). Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat before serving. For gluten-free or vegan adaptations, use appropriate dough and dairy substitutes.
