Pizza Waffles

Everything is better in waffle form, including our pizza waffles. These are the college kid's dream come true, especially since they're so easy.

 Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 1 round of fresh pizza dough, divided into 4 equal parts (note: if you buy frozen dough, let it thaw to room temperature). Pillsbury pizza dough works very well.
 24 oz Colavita Strained Tomatoes
 ½ lb mozzarella cheese
 ½ tsp sea salt
 Garnish: grated parmesan cheese
 Optional: prosciutto, ham, fresh basil

1

First, grab a waffle iron and heat it up. Oil the inside lightly with Colavita Olive Oil.

2

Flatten out each of the four pieces of pizza dough into small rounds.

3

Place a small dollop of tomato sauce on two of the rounds. Top with mozzarella, a pinch of sea salt and (optional) a slice or two of prosciutto or ham. Place another piece of pizza dough on top of this to seal it like a sandwich.

4

Make sure not to overstuff your dough, as it will leak out the sides and make a mess when pressed in the waffle iron.

5

Place both pizza sandwiches on the heated waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until the light signals that the waffles are done.

6

Open the lid and remove the waffles (careful – they will be hot!). Garnish with some grated parmesan if desired!
