Sweet Cinnamon Stix just like delivery, only better! Add on sweet dipping sauce to make pizza night extra special without calling Domino’s!

This recipe benefits from using a similar dough to my Pizzeria Garlic Knots, which are so delicious. The real differences are the oil used in the dough and how it is baked.

Sabrina’s Domino’s Cinnastix with Dipping Sauce (Copycat) Recipe

The original Cinnastix are basically half a pizza dough with a butter substitute, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, then baked. This recipe makes a full tray of slices with all-natural ingredients and actual butter. Something else to consider is that these won’t even cost you a dollar. Okay, okay, maybe for the whole batch *which is twice what you would get at Dominos* this recipe may cost a dollar.

Chef’s Note: Dough

The great thing about this dough is that you don’t have to take the extra time to let it rise. If you do let it sit, it will be slightly chewier and more flavorful, but the beauty of this dough is that it doesn’t need the extra time. We also add the cinnamon sugar in two parts to the dough, half before baking and half after. This makes for a nice crunch on the dough where the sugar caramelizes in the oven, and has a soft coating of fresh cinnamon sugar for after, which will leave a nice cinnamon sugar lipstick on you with each bite!

Comments

So I read the comments before making this for the first time and noticed mention of dough thickness/density, here are the things I did differently which I belive makes a difference. After I mixed the ingredients together I had kneed the dough for about 3 to 4 minutes so the dough would come together and so that the texture was a bit smooth. Then I let the dough rise for 1 hour, then I rolled it out to the desired shape and cut the strips, placed them in the baking pan (lined with parchment paper) and then let it rise again for about 30 to 45 minutes. I had to bake it for 25 minutes because it was still raw after the suggested 10 to 12 minute time-frame (I guess it depends on the strength of the oven) I believe that this helped with the dough because it came out light and soft. I hope this helps someone.

Wow so tasty and delicious recipe of Cinna Stix pizza. Very easy and quick recipe. Thank you for sharing this

Love this great sauce dominoes recipe. Looks so awesome and delicious, I really like it. Thank you for sharing this wonderful post.

I had some leftover pizza dough and needed to use it up. It wasn’t enough for another pizza so I decided to make this. My dough was obviously fully prepped for a pizza so it’s been kneaded. (Kned? lol) My problem is my stix were chewy and I’m thinking it’s because the temp on the oven was so low. We cook pizzas at 450-500. The cinnastix should also be cooked at that temp, so next time I will do that and post back to see how they come out. I loved this recipe anyway so I’m giving it 5 stars! It was super easy to make (mostly because I had leftover dough) 15 min. from start to finish. Will def. be making again. (I have a breadmaker so pizza dough takes 90 minutes. )

1. So glad you liked it! I wish I had pizza dough laying around right now to make some! 🙂

Tried your Easy Mongolian Beef the other night and hubby was blown away by how good it was. So I have been scouring your site and bookmarking new recipes to try and came across this one that sounds divine but I think there may be some steps missing between #3 and 4.
Reply
1. So glad you are loving the site! To clear up any confusion, there aren’t any steps missing. This recipe is super easy and you basically mix the dry, add the wet and roll it into the rectangle. No need to let the dough rise for it. Hope this helps!

You never said to mix ingredients or knead themes. Do I use a mixer or by hand and for how long?
Reply
1. I just mixed the ingredients together. I didn’t knead it at all.

Hi!! I have a question about the dough. I made it but it didn’t bake the way I wanted it to. it tastes very weird and I think the dough was a bit thick when I cut it… Is there a specific way to cut the bread so that It bakes nicer???
Reply
1. You can make it in two batches and roll it out thinner so it’s not as thick.
  Reply
Icing needs a lot of work. Followed the recipe exactly and this is why I only have it a 3 star. Any tips? Icing gets hard after adding the correct amount of milk and ends up tasting like cardboard.
Reply
1. The icing will harden up after sitting for a bit (Domino’s does the same) so if you warm it up a little, it should soften back up.
  Reply
2. how old is the powdered sugar? Older sugar will taste funky. It’s still good, but just has an “old” taste to it.
  Reply
  1. I’m so excited to make this! I LOVE Domino’s icing so much and use to put it on everything! I would order one serving of a dessert and then add 25 icings on the app. Oh the looks I got when I picked it up! I would spend $8 on the icing alone. I no longer live in a city and rarely eat out when I do go to town so I am thrilled!
    Reply
I just wanted to ask about the powdered sugar? It says 4 cups and i have a feeling that its incorrect since in my shops they only sell packets of powdered sugar that wont even be able to fill up 2 cups. maybe you meant 1/4 cup?
Reply
1. 4 cups is the correct amount for the dipping sauce. 1/4 cup won’t give you enough dipping sauce for your sticks.

I’m so glad I found this recipe. I live in the uk & ordered cinnastix (new over here) omg I’m addicted to them!. Can’t wait to give this recipe a try!.
Reply
1. They are very addicting!! Enjoy!
  Reply
Can you use self rising flour?
Reply
1. It is not recommended to substitute self-rising flour for other types of flour since a leavening agent has been added.
  Reply
Is there an alternative to use for the active yeast? I do not have the active yeast
Reply
1. I’m sorry, I wish there was a fun/easy swap but I would stick with the active yeast.
  Reply
How long do you let the dough rest/rise before rolling out into a rectangle? I imagine that you do let it rise before baking, correct?
Reply
1. Not very long at all, 15-20 minutes? I use the no rise dough so it isn’t too long of a process. If you want to give it more rising time it will only be better, sometimes I let it rise for 30-40 mins if I am working on other parts of the meal. But really, it’ll be pretty delicious if you just make it immediately.

2. My icing is tastes like sugar still what should I add to make it taste better?
  Reply
  1. Warm it slightly, that helps to melt the sugar more. If needed add a bit of vanilla.
    Reply
Those look really good. I’d same Domino’s has some serious competition with your recipe.

We can’t order pizza without getting some of these. They are so hot and yummy and make the perfect sweet dessert after pizza 🙂 I would never have thought of making them, myself… Now I can
Reply
1. I know, sometimes when we would order pizza and not these, I would taste these as I was finishing my pizza, only to let my stomach down with no cinnastix, haha.
  Reply
I love these, they are so addictive and with that dip I will have no self control!
Reply
1. Me too! I started using it on everything I eat… this could present itself as a problem soon, haha!

I am a huge fan of anything involving cinnamon. This looks so delicious. I’ll have to try it out.

My kids LOVE to order these when we get pizza. They would have so much fun making them at home!
Reply
1. Yup, my husband is the same way. It pains me to spend 6 bucks on them when it takes no time at all and mine taste better ;). Plus I save like 5 of the 6 dollars, haha.

These look great! I have never tried something like this, but the recipe looks easy enough. We have friends coming over tomorrow night this would be perfect.

This recipe just made my week! We don’t have a Domino’s close by, so I’ve had to suffer without these cinnastix for so long. Can’t wait to make a batch!

1. Yay! I hope you love them Chrisy!

I used to looove getting these for sleepovers when I was younger. It looks like the homemade version would be even better!

1. Thanks Ashley!

Wow, those look insanely addictive! I’ve never had the “real thing” but I’m betting these are an improvement anyway – homemade is always better.
Reply
1. Thanks Alisa, I like to think so too!

  1. Is it necessary to use vanilla essence in say e ???
    Reply
    1. You do need vanilla extract in the icing if you want to have that same flavor as Dominos.
      Reply
Let me tell you what I love about this recipe! My mother in law orders Cinnastix from Domino’s pretty frequently and she ices each piece, but I am not really an icing gal. I would much rather have them this way where I can choose how much or how little icing I want with them. Mmm, I bet your kitchen smells great when these come out of the oven.
Reply
1. Yeah the kitchen smelled so good! My husband used to pour the icing over them all too, I made him stop haha.
