Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pizza Dough

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 2: Shape the Pizza

1. Spread the Dough: Transfer the dough to the prepared pizza pan. Using your hands or a spatula, spread the dough evenly into a round shape, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3: Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping

1. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
2. Brush with Butter: Brush the melted butter over the top of the dough.
3. Sprinkle Topping: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered dough.

1. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
2. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes on the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5: Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting
