Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano until well combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth and combined.
Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix to ensure fluffy waffles.
Assemble Waffles: Spoon a small amount of batter onto the center of each waffle section, then add a layer of shredded mozzarella, chopped pepperoni, and any optional vegetables you like. Spoon a little pizza sauce over the filling, then cover completely with more batter to encase the fillings.
Cook Waffles: Close the waffle maker and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through with a crisp exterior.
Finish and Serve: Carefully remove the stuffed pizza waffles from the maker, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top, and serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

Customize these stuffed waffles with your favorite pizza toppings or create a vegetarian version by omitting pepperoni or substituting with veggies.
For crispier waffles, cook them an additional 1 to 2 minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.
Leftover waffles can be reheated in a toaster oven to maintain their crisp texture better than in a microwave.
