Description

Pizza Waffles offer a fun and creative twist on traditional pizza by using crescent roll dough filled with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni, cooked to crispy perfection in a waffle iron. Served warm with pizza sauce, they make for a quick, tasty snack or party appetizer that combines the best of pizza and waffles in one bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Waffles

1 can refrigerated crescent rolls (8 pieces)
1 ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Pepperoni slices (or your favorite pizza toppings, quantity as desired)

For Dipping

Pizza sauce (for serving)

Instructions

Preheat Waffle Iron: Turn on your waffle iron and spray it generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the pizza waffles.
Prepare Dough: Unroll the can of crescent rolls to reveal 8 triangular pieces. Pinch two triangles together along the seams to create 4 rectangular dough pieces.
Add Fillings: Evenly distribute about ⅓ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and a layer of pepperoni slices onto each rectangular dough piece. Fold the dough over the filling carefully and pinch all edges tightly to seal in the cheese and pepperoni, preventing any leakage while cooking.
Cook in Waffle Iron: Place each sealed dough rectangle onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through, creating a crispy exterior.
Serve: Remove the pizza waffles from the waffle iron. Serve them warm with pizza sauce on the side for dipping to enjoy a delicious, handheld pizza snack.

Notes

Ensure the edges of the dough are well sealed to avoid cheese leaking during cooking.
You can customize these waffles with other pizza toppings like olives, bell peppers, or mushrooms, but avoid too much moisture to prevent sogginess.
Use a non-stick waffle iron or apply enough cooking spray to prevent sticking.
For crispier waffles, cook a few minutes longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
These pizza waffles are great for a quick snack, party appetizer, or kid-friendly meal.
