Crazy Crust Pizza
Description
Crazy Crust Pizza starts with a crust batter blending all-purpose flour, eggs, whole milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. The batter is poured evenly into a lightly sprayed rimmed baking pan that shapes the pizza into a rectangular form. The crust partially bakes topped with pepperoni slices, allowing the edges and bottom to firm up. Then pizza sauce and shredded mozzarella are layered on top before the pizza returns to the oven to melt the cheese and brown the crust further. The result is a pizza with a tender, batter-based crust rather than traditional yeast-leavened dough.
The pizza has the familiar combination of pepperoni, tangy sauce, and melted mozzarella, while the crust holds up well due to the eggs and milk binding the flour. It is baked at 425°F with the rack positioned low in the oven for even cooking. A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a touch of color and herbaceous flavor if desired. This approach yields a flavorful, home-baked pizza that can be sliced directly from the pan and served hot.
