Two layers of pizza dough go into a waffle maker with sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni sealed between them, and 10 minutes later you have a stuffed pocket pizza with deep, crisp ridges. The waffle plates press heat into both sides at once, so the dough browns top and bottom without an oven. Leave a clear border of dough around the filling and press the top layer down firmly before closing the lid; that seal keeps the cheese in as it melts. You will know it is done when the edges turn golden and release easily from the plates. No pepperoni on hand? Ham or mushrooms work just as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dough works best?
Store-bought or homemade pizza dough both work. Roll it thin enough to seal around the filling and fit your waffle plates.
How do I stop the cheese leaking?
Leave a clear border of dough around the filling and press the top layer firmly to seal before closing the lid. A little leakage just crisps into tasty edges.
Can I use other fillings?
Yes — ham, mushrooms, peppers or extra cheese. Keep fillings modest so the dough cooks through and seals properly.
