Vegan Pizza Waffles

Vegan Pizza Waffles combine a yeast-leavened pizza batter with classic pizza toppings cooked in a waffle iron to create golden, crispy waffles with layers of pizza sauce, vegetables, and vegan mozzarella. The dough is spiced optionally with oregano and red pepper flakes, while thinly sliced veggies add texture and flavor. This inventive approach offers a handheld, waffle-textured vegan pizza experience.

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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)
  2. Meanwhile you can chop up the vegetables and gather other additions
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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.
