We love Pizza in any shape, size or form! It is the perfect hand held treat. Have you ever had a dessert pizza? Me either! Now let me tell you it is pretty amazing and could not be easier to make. This Cinnamon Struesel Pizza is going to put a smile on everyone’s face.

This Cinnamon Struesel Pizza is so good I could eat the whole thing! I didn’t but it’s so good I wanted to. This is so easy to make I was so happy with how quickly it came together.

The Rhodes Frozen Bread dough needs to be just barley thawed out you will want it still cold, roll out on a lightly floured surface until it is the size of your pan. I took the tines of a fork and dotted the dough with holes so it would not bubble up.

Drizzle with 2 TBS. melted butter then using a pastry brush spread the butter over the surface of the dough.

Mix together 3 TBS Sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon then sprinkle over the surface of the dough. It doesn’t look very pretty but that is ok it gets covered up.

Now to make the struesel topping. Its really easy but one key to making a good struesel is to make sure your butter is very cold. I like to use a pastry blender to make a nice struesel. Put all your dry ingredients in a bowl add the cut butter then use the pastry blender until it looks like small peas.

Sprinkle the struesel over the pizza making sure to cover the whole surface.

Bake in a pre heated over at 500 degrees for just 5 minutes. It will turn out nice and golden brown.

I made the icing so it was a bit on the thick side so I could put it in a pastry bag to pipe it on top of the pizza.

Serve this along side of a nice tall glass of ice cold milk and you are ready to go! Its soooo good!
