Dessert Pizza...

 

 

 

If you have been to CiCi’s or ordered, takeout most pizzerias now have a desert pizza. Usually a cinnamon or cinnamon apple concoction, that is warm, sweet, and full of cinnamon and brown sugar.  You can use any pizza dough you chose, either readymade, out of a packet or from scratch.

Pizza dough:

3 cups all purpose flour

2 ¼ teaspoon yeast or one packet

2 Tablespoons of olive oil

1 cup of warm water

 

If you have bread machine place on the dough setting and let it do it work.

 

To make by hand:

Combine water, yeast, and half of the flour in a large bowl. Mix well (I use my hands) Add remaining ingredients until the dough holds its shape.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. If dough is too sticky, lightly sprinkle with flour.

Transfer dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with clean lint free kitchen towel and place in a warm area. Let dough rest until double its size. This usually takes an about 45 minutes to an hour.

See below for assembly…

Topping:

1 tablespoon of melted butter
¼ cup cinnamon
1/2 cup + 1/3 cup of flour
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/3 cup of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of shortening
2 tablespoons of oil (I used vegetable oil)

Icing:
1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
3 tablespoons of milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla

Directions:
 Roll out the pizza dough on a pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Perforate pizza dough with the dough.
Brush melted butter over the pizza dough.
Sprinkle all over the cinnamon dough.
Prepare the remaining topping ingredients by mixing all the ingredients using a fork
Pop into the oven (460 degrees) for 10-12 minutes.  

While pizza is cooking, make the icing. Mix all the ingredients together. If the icing is too thick, add extra milk.
 Remove from oven and drizzle icing all over the pizza.
