Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons 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.

    Make the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

        Add Pizza Toppings: Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, mini pepperoni, and Italian seasoning into the batter.

          Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray. Pour enough batter into the waffle maker to cover the surface and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

            Assemble Sliders: Once all waffles are cooked, take one waffle and add another waffle on top to create a slider. You may choose to spread a thin layer of marinara sauce between the waffles if desired.

              Serve: Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra touch.
