Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a large bowl, combine warm water, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let it rest 5 minutes until yeast blooms.
In a small bowl, whisk vegetable oil and half the kosher salt.
Pour half of the oil mixture into the yeast mixture; set the remaining oil aside.
Add flour and remaining half teaspoon salt to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in warm place for 1 hour until doubled.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper.
Pour remaining oil mixture onto the lined pizza pan.
Transfer risen dough to pizza pan, press to edges, and create dimples with fingers.
Bake crust for 10 minutes.
While crust bakes, prepare cinnamon butter topping by microwaving butter, sugar, and cinnamon for 30 seconds, then stir.
Make crumble topping by mixing flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and melted butter together.
Brush cinnamon butter over baked crust to cover surface evenly.
Sprinkle crumble topping over cinnamon butter, covering to outer edges.
Bake assembled bread for an additional 10 minutes or until crumble is golden brown.
Remove bread from oven and let cool 5 to 10 minutes before glazing.
Mix confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth; add more milk as needed for consistency.
Drizzle glaze over warm bread and serve.
Notes
This cactus bread makes a perfect dessert or sweet snack, best enjoyed fresh and slightly warm.
