how to make Pizza Stuffed Waffles
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons pizza sauce
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 50 grams sliced pepperoni
Directions:
- In a big bowl, toss in the salt, baking powder, and flour. Give it all a good whisk to mix.
- Crack the egg into another bowl. Pour in sugar, vanilla, oil, and milk. Whisk until everything blends together and looks smooth.
- Tip the mixed dry stuff into the wet bowl. Stir gently until you don’t see any dry flour. Don’t stir too much or the waffles get tough.
- Lightly spray your waffle maker with nonstick spray, then warm it up like you usually do.
- Scoop batter onto the hot waffle iron and spread it out. Shut the lid and let it cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until it’s golden and done.
- Let your waffles rest a moment so they can cool. Then, grab a sharp knife and cut each one sideways, making two thin halves.
- Lay the bottom half of each waffle out, spread pizza sauce on top, cover with mozzarella and pepperoni, then broil real quick until the cheese bubbles.
- Pop the tops back on and serve right away while they’re hot and melty.
