Vegan Pizza Waffles
Description
The recipe begins by mixing all-purpose flour, semolina flour, active yeast, salt, baking powder, and optional oregano and pepper flakes with olive oil and warm water to form a pancake-like batter. After allowing the batter to rest and become bubbly, it is spooned thinly onto a preheated waffle iron. Pizza sauce is dotted onto the batter, then sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, and vegan mozzarella cheese are added as toppings. Another thin layer of batter is spooned over, topped optionally with minced garlic and oil, before cooking until golden brown on both sides, crispy on the outside yet tender inside.
This method results in waffles with a chewy, bread-like texture filled with classic pizza flavors and melted vegan cheese. The thin layering helps keep the waffle from becoming too thick, while the toppings introduce familiar pizza vegetables and sauce flavors. The dish provides a creative twist on traditional pizza by reshaping it into waffle form.
These waffles are best served fresh from the iron but can be stored in a container for a few days or frozen for longer storage. Variations include adding herbs to the batter or serving with extra pizza sauce as a dip.
Gluten-free flour blends may substitute wheat flour for those with dietary needs, and toppings can be varied according to preference.
Ingredients
Pizza Batter
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp semolina flour or use more all purpose, or rice flour
- 1 tsp active yeast
- ⅓ tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- oregano optional add ins: 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp pepper flakes
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ cups water warm
Additions
- ½ cup bell pepper or a mix of both, thinly sliced, red or green
- ½ cup or more mushroom thinly sliced
- ½ cup vegetables optional, thinly sliced, of your choice
- ¾ cup pizza sauce
- ½ cup vegan mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Toppings (optional)
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- neutral cooking oil as needed, generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Make the pizza batter first - add all of the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Add in the extra virgin olive oil and warm water, mix until the mixture is like a pancake batter. Let this mixture sit for 20-25 minutes until it gets bubbly. (You can add in some dried oregano, garlic powder for flavor or swirl in a bit of pizza sauce jn the batter itself for variation)
- Meanwhile you can chop up the vegetables and gather other additions
- To make the waffles, heat your waffle iron and add a few drops of oil. Add a spoonful of the pizza batter and spread it around - you want a thin layer. Add a small spoonful of the pizza sauce at every corner, not too much
- Top this with your sliced mushrooms, peppers, and shredded mozzarella. Add another layer of the pizza batter on top, no need to cover the entire surface. Top with optional minced garlic and drizzle of oil and close waffle iron
- Let the waffle cook until it’s golden brown on both sides, flip waffle if it’s not browning evenly, cook for a few more minutes
- Repeat for all of the waffles, transfer prepared waffles onto a rack so they don’t get soggy. Serve immediately, these are best when served warm and crispyTo reheat, you can reheat for 5-10 mins in the oven at 400 deg F which will also help keep them crispy
Notes
- Once cooled, store waffles in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon oregano or other preferred herbs to the batter for extra flavor.
- Use thinly sliced toppings to prevent waffles from becoming too thick in the waffle iron.
- You can incorporate some pizza sauce into the batter or serve waffles alongside extra sauce for dipping.
- For gluten-free versions, substitute all-purpose flour with a blend such as oat flour, almond flour, and potato starch.
