Pizza Stuffed Waffles Ingredients
The waffle batter uses 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 pinch salt, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons sugar, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
For the pizza filling, measure 3 tablespoons pizza sauce, 50 grams sliced pepperoni, and ¼ cup shredded mozzarella. These modest amounts keep two stuffed waffles flavorful without making their layers wet or difficult to hold.
