Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 ½ cups milk

½ cup vegetable oil

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup mini pepperoni

½ cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Maker: Begin by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensuring it’s ready will yield perfectly crisp waffles.

    Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk them together thoroughly until evenly mixed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gradually pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. It's important not to overmix; a few lumps will keep your waffles light and fluffy.

        Incorporate Pizza Toppings: Carefully fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, mini pepperoni, and Italian seasoning into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overworking the batter.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly coat the waffle maker's surface with cooking spray. Pour a sufficient amount of the batter into the waffle maker to cover the grid, ensuring it doesn’t overflow. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's guidelines, typically for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Continue this process with the remaining batter.

            Assemble the Sliders: Once all the waffles are cooked, take a warm waffle and stack another waffle on top to form a delicious slider. For an extra flavor boost, feel free to spread a thin layer of marinara sauce between the waffles.

              Serve and Enjoy: Carefully arrange the assembled sliders on a serving platter. Serve them warm alongside a small bowl of marinara sauce for dipping. For a fresh and vibrant touch, garnish with fresh basil leaves.
