Pizza puffs are the new rage all over the social media. If you haven't heard of it I encourage you to try it at least once. For all the vegetarians and all those observing Lent please omit the pepperoni and go for the veggie option like in the normal pizza. Just make sure to chop it fine.

ReplyDeleteI'm drooling ... looks so delicious & tempting :)
ReplyDeleteI tried these tonight. Made them with red bell pepper instead of green and diced spicy sausage instead of pepperoni, because that's what I had on hand. I also modified the seasonings according to my preference and inspiration, since I can't find a decent Italian seasoning mix where I'm from (so I used rosemary, thyme, ground black pepper, red chili flakes, sweet red pepper powder, garlic powder and onion flakes). They turned out great! The batter is light and fluffy. I've tried another pizza puff recipe before and those turned out very bland and heavy. Thank you for the recipe, will definitely keep using it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for trying this recipe and letting me know. I am really glad to know it came out well.
DeleteThe recipe is quite forgiving, any spice u have in hand could be used. The spice combination u used here sounds really flavorful.
