- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- â…› teaspoon pepper
- 2 eggs
- â…” cup milk
Toppings
- ½ pound pork sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
- â…“ cup diced cooked ham
Sauce & Cheese
- 1½ cups pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Lightly spray a 15×10-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set the pan aside.
- Make the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, eggs, and milk until smooth and well combined, creating the batter that will serve as the pizza crust.
- Pour Batter and Add Meat Toppings: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking sheet. Then, evenly distribute the cooked and crumbled sausage, pepperoni slices, and diced cooked ham over the batter as your toppings.
- Bake the Crust with Toppings: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. This cooks the batter and partially cooks the meat toppings.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Remove the partially baked pizza from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked crust and toppings. Then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Finish Baking: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden, signaling that the pizza is ready to serve.
Notes
- Ensure the sausage is fully cooked and crumbled before adding to the batter to avoid undercooked meat.
- You can customize toppings by adding vegetables like bell peppers or onions if desired.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to contain the batter as it bakes into a pizza crust.
- For a crispier crust, bake the batter for a few minutes before adding the meat toppings.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing to help the cheese set and avoid messy slices.
