Good blue Monday everyone
Indeed its cuddle weather, in the middle of summer! A rather dark & rainy Monday morning outside. Makes me in no mood to go out, even to gym. Feeling sorry for the Hubster thou, who has to go to work, while everyone else is on holiday. All I plan to do today is chill at home in my chino shorts, with a hoodie & eat carbs all day. Weird combination I know. Talking about about weird combinations & carbs, I thought about a crazy idea, that will go down amazing in this type of weather. Especially for those at work right now, you need comfort food packed in your lunch box. A hot cheesy pizza, only thing its not a pizza its a “Pizzaffle” (Pizza+waffle ) made on a waffle iron. These days it seems that waffles are bring sexy back, so I am basically trying to make anything on a waffle iron. And why not? What ever is easy to for him to heat up & eat at work.
Pizzaffle
Serves:1 (I doubled it for 2 full waffles)
Ingredients:
300gr homemade yeast pizza dough(divided into 150gr balls & rolled out rectangular shaped)
120ml tomato sauce(I made with tomato puree,saute onions,cayenne pepper,oregano,basil leaves & salt)
1 cup mozzarella cheese
handful fresh basil leaves
oregano for sprinkling
Method:
- Grease the waffle iron with non stick cooking spray.
- Place 1st piece of 150gr rolled out pizza dough.
- Smeer only half the tomato puree, add half the basil leaves & top with half the cheese.
- Place the 2nd piece of dough ontop & close down the iron until cooked.
- Take out of waffle iron & place on a baking tray.
- Repeat step 3 & sprinkle dried oregano & grill in a hot oven for 5mins.
Bon Appetit!
