Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Filling and Topping
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons pizza sauce
- 50 grams sliced pepperoni
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, crack the egg and add the milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Form Waffle Batter: Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl. Gently stir until you no longer see dry flour, being careful not to overmix to avoid tough waffles.
- Prepare Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron, lightly spraying with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Scoop the batter onto the hot waffle iron and spread evenly. Close the lid and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
- Slice Waffles: Allow the waffles to rest and cool slightly. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each waffle horizontally to create two thin halves.
- Stuff and Melt: Place the bottom halves of the waffles on a baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce over each piece, then top with shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices. Broil in the oven briefly until the cheese melts and bubbles, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Assemble and Serve: Place the top halves of the waffles back on the stuffed bottoms to create a sandwich. Serve immediately while warm and melty for the best experience.
Notes
- You can substitute pepperoni with other pizza toppings like mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers according to preference.
- Use part-skim mozzarella cheese for a lower fat content.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- Watch the broiler closely when melting cheese to prevent burning.
- Serve with additional pizza sauce or marinara on the side for dipping if desired.
