How to Make Homemade Cinnamon Sticks

First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees and spray a sheet pan with cooking spray. You can also line it with parchment paper.

Next, mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.

Unroll pizza crust onto baking sheet and brush melted butter over pizza crust. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over entire pizza crust. Cut dough into small sections and bake in oven until golden brown.

To make the dipping sauce, stir together powdered sugar and half & half in small bowl until well combined. Serve in a small bowl with warm cinnamon breadsticks.
