Equipment
Ingredients
Pizza dough
- ½ cup water warm, 105–110°F (40.5–43.3°C)
- 1 tbsp Dry Yeast
- 1 ½ tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- Cooking spray oil
Cinnamon spread
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- ½ cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 3 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Cream cheese glaze
- 2 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 4 tbsp butter room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Pizza dough
- Start by measuring out all the dough ingredients.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together warm water, yeast, and sugar.
- Cover the bowl and let the yeast bloom for 10–15 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer with a dough hook.
- Add olive oil, flour, and salt.
- Mix on low, then increase to medium until dough forms.
- Shape into a ball and transfer to a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and towel.
- Let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size. I place it near my stove or even on a heating pad.
- Meanwhile, let your butter and cream cheese soften on the counter (cut them into small chunks to speed things up).
- Make sure your dough has really doubled in size—it should look puffy and feel soft when you press it lightly. If it’s still looking a bit small, give it more time in that warm spot.
- Divide dough in half (or keep whole) and roll each out to ¼ inch thick.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Cinnamon spread
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Measure out all ingredients.
- Mix butter, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Mash until well combined and spreadable.
- Spread over the pizza dough evenly. I like using the back of a spoon to get it all the way to the edges.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes until golden and bubbly. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
Cream cheese glaze
- While pizzas bake, combine softened butter and cream cheese in a bowl.
- Use a hand mixer to beat until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and mix again until fully combined.
- Transfer to a silicone cup and microwave for 20–30 seconds until drizzle-ready (or thin with a splash of milk).
- Drizzle over the warm baked pizzas.
