- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
For the Icing:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk

Instructions
1. Prepare the Pizza Base:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza dough to your desired size and thickness, then transfer it to the prepared sheet.
2. Add the Topping:
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the surface of the pizza dough.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough, covering it evenly.
3. Bake the Pizza:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the sugar topping is bubbly.
4. Prepare the Icing:
- While the pizza bakes, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the milk to achieve a drizzle-able consistency.
5. Add the Finishing Touch:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the icing over the pizza in zigzag patterns using a spoon or piping bag.
6. Serve:
- Slice into wedges and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
