Cinnasticks with Cream Cheese Icing

Ingredients

• Pizza dough (One portion of the creator's pizza dough recipe; recipe and amount not provided in the source.)
• Butter (Real butter, melted and brushed on the dough before baking; use a generous amount. More melted butter is brushed on after baking.)
• 1 tbsp Butter (Melted for the icing.)
• Cream cheese (A little bit; amount to taste.)
• Powdered sugar (A couple of heaping scoops; amount is personal preference.)
• Milk (A splash to loosen the icing; add more if it is too thick.)
• Cinnamon sugar (Use liberally to coat the baked sticks; mixture proportions are not stated.)

Steps

1. 1

   Shape one portion of pizza dough as best you can into a large rectangle. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

2. 2

   Using a bench scraper, knife, or similar tool, cut the dough down the middle, then divide it into eight slices. Cut each slice in half to make the sticks.

3. 3

   Melt butter and brush a generous layer over the dough.

4. 4

   Bake in a 450°F (230°C) oven for about 10 minutes.

5. 5

   While the sticks bake, melt 1 tablespoon butter for the icing. Add a little cream cheese and a couple of heaping scoops of powdered sugar.

6. 6

   Stir the icing with a fork until smooth and thick, with no clumps.

7. 7

   Add a splash of milk and stir. If the icing is too thick, add more milk; if it is too thin, add more powdered sugar.

8. 8

   Remove the sticks from the oven. Brush another layer of melted butter over them, then coat them liberally in cinnamon sugar.

9. 9

   Serve the cinnasticks warm with the icing for dipping.
