Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional for light sweetness)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter or oil
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni or cooked sausage (or your favorite pizza toppings)
- Optional: grated parmesan, Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).
- In another bowl, beat the egg and mix with milk and melted butter or oil.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Spoon a small amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, just enough to cover the bottom grid.
- Quickly add a layer of pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and your choice of toppings (pepperoni, sausage, etc.), leaving some space around the edges.
- Spoon more batter over the top to cover the fillings.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove from the waffle iron and let cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with grated parmesan and Italian seasoning if desired.
Notes
- Use a Belgian waffle maker for thicker, fluffier results.
- Swap in vegetables like mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers for a vegetarian version.
- Serve with warm marinara or ranch for dipping.
- These freeze well—just reheat in a toaster or oven.
