Waffle Iron Pizza (Kids love it!)
Waffle Iron Pizza crust is cooked by using a waffle iron. Pile on your toppings afterward and toast it up in the oven. Kids love helping to make these individual pizzas! You can make the crust gluten-free too.

Instructions
- Heat the waffle iron and preheat the oven to Broil.
- Take a handful of dough and make it into a circle no bigger than your waffle iron.
- Spray the waffle iron with cooking oil to make sure the dough doesn’t stick. Place the dough in the center and close the lid. Leave in until the dough is cooked all the way through and lightly brown on top.
- Spread sauce over the crust, then a layer of cheese, and finally add your favorite toppings.
- Place the pizza on a baking sheet and put in the oven on the second rack from the top. You don’t want the cheese to burn before everything gets warm. When everything is bubbling nicely, remove the pizza, slice, and serve.
Notes
**Notes**
Keep an eye on the crust in the waffle iron and the oven to make sure it doesn't burn.
If you're adding fresh herbs or greens on top, I suggest adding them after you've broiled the pizza. The herbs will wilt nicely on the hot pizza.
