Waffled Pizza Bites Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cheeses, basil and oregano. Separate each roll of crescent dough into two 7x6-in. rectangles; seal perforations., Place 1 rectangle on a preheated greased 8-in. square waffle iron (dough will not cover entire surface). Layer with half the cheese mixture and half the pepperoni to 1/2 in. of edges; top with another rectangle. Bake until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Repeat., Remove to a cutting board and cool slightly. Cut each rectangle into 4 triangles; serve warm, with pizza sauce and, if desired, toppings.

Steps:

• Roll or press biscuits to fit waffle iron. On 1 biscuit, place 1/4 cup cheese, 6 slices pepperoni and 1 scant tablespoon chopped bacon to within 1/2 in. of edges. Top with a second biscuit, folding bottom edge over top edge and pressing to seal completely., Bake in a preheated waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve with pizza sauce.

Steps:

• Special equipment: a waffle maker
• Preheat a waffle maker to a high heat according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• To make 1 pizza, stretch or roll out one-quarter of the pizza dough to a size slightly smaller than the waffle maker. Spray the waffle maker with the olive oil spray and place the dough on the surface. Close the lid and cook until the dough is nicely browned, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, depending on your machine.
• Open the lid and spread a thin layer of marinara sauce across the pizza. Season with red pepper flakes and oregano. Sprinkle over a layer of mozzarella, sprinkle on some ham and pineapple chunks and top with roasted vegetables. Sprinkle over a second layer of mozzarella. Close the lid and cook just until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and eat. Careful, it will be hot!
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron.
• Lay 4 slices of the bread on a counter or cutting board. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the mozzarella on each slice, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons sauce over the cheese and bread slices. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the Pecorino-Romano on top of the sauce. Top each with the remaining slices of bread.
• Place the sandwiches into the waffle iron (you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your iron). Close the lid, and cook until the sandwiches are golden, 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the temperature setting of your waffle iron. Serve hot, or wrap in foil to pack for a school lunch or picnic.
• Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the wine and cook on high heat, scraping up all the brown bits in the pan, until almost all the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cover, and simmer on the lowest heat for 15 minutes.
