Ingredients

Crust

1 Cup (125g) All-purpose flour
1 Tsp Italian seasoning
1 Tsp Kosher salt
⅛ Tsp Black pepper
2 Large eggs, room temperature
⅔ Cup (163g) Whole milk, room temperature

Topping

1 Cup (5 Ounces) Pepperoni slices, about 75 slices
1 Cup (257g) Pizza sauce
2 Cups (113g) Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Parsley, optional for garnish

Instructions

Set the oven rack to the lowest setting. Turn the oven on to 425°F. A 10 x 15-inch baking pan with a rim should be lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix the flour, milk, eggs, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning in a big basin. Mix until incorporated.
Make sure the batter covers the bottom of the baking pan evenly when you pour it into it.
Add pepperoni on top, then bake for 20 minutes.
Add the mozzarella cheese and sauce on top. Continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and hot and the crust is golden brown.
If preferred, top with parsley before slicing and serving hot.

Pizza with a Crazy Crust

Naturally, I had to give Crazy Crust Pizza a try since it recently became viral on TikTok! The recipe that’s going viral, though, isn’t the original. In fact, the TikTok recipe resembles an enormous, tender pancake crust. I’m sorry for anyone attempting that version!

The original recipe for Crazy Crust Pizza was found in a 1969 Pillsbury flour bag. It’s truly amazing how this pizza uses a liquid crust and comes together flawlessly. (Hint: it’s basically a Dutch baby.) It turns out crispy and thin, leaving everyone wanting more! This is such an easy dish.

Ingredients for Crazy Crust Pizza

Flour: I use all-purpose flour for this recipe. Due to its lower gluten level, it produces a perfectly balanced, chewy, yet pleasantly crispy crust.

Pepperoni: My all-time favorite pizza topping is pepperoni! Although I adore a traditional pepperoni pizza, you can switch it up with additional toppings.

Pizza Sauce: Although store-bought sauce is equally effective in an emergency, I prefer making my Homemade Pizza sauce!

Frequently Ask Questions

Of course! There are countless alternatives, including chicken, ground beef, Italian sausage, and Canadian bacon. As with the pepperoni, if you are using another meat in its place, make sure it is already cooked and place it right on top of the wet batter in the first bake.

Of course! I used jalapeños, onions, and peppers to make a vegetarian version of this pizza, and it turned out fantastic. You can use any vegetables you choose, but again, to guarantee that everything is cooked through, be sure to add any toppings (except the cheese and sauce) straight onto the wet batter during the first bake.

Indeed! It was still really delicious even when I prepared it in a big ovenproof skillet. Ultimately, it is a matter of taste. I suggest using the baking sheet if you want a thinner, crispier crust. The pizza made in the skillet will have a thicker, chewier crust.
