We just love this cheesy, and super speedy pizza made on a pancake base.
This is the ultimate easy take on pizza. Rather than make a dough which you need to knead, rest and stretch, you just make up a batter in a bowl. Give it a quick blast on the hob before transferring the whole thing to the oven to cook. Sometimes called a Dutch baby pizza, it's a cinch, and a really pleasing way to cook a pizza. Unlike our classic thin pancake recipe, it will really rise up in the pan. You'll need a hob-and-oven-safe pan to make cooking as easy as possible. Feel free to adapt the pizza toppings to your liking. Leave out the pepperoni for a veggie version, or add an extra kind of cheese.
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 125g plain flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt and pinch of pepper

Method
- Combine the flour, salt, pepper, baking powder, eggs and milk in a bowl and whisk until the batter is smooth. Let the mixture rest for 20 minutes.
- In a frying pan, melt the butter and use a brush to coat the pan with the buttery liquid. Pour the pancake mixture into the middle of the pan and let it cook for a moment.
- Remove the pan from the hob and place in the oven for 15 minutes at 200ºC/400ºF/Gas 6.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Spread the tomato pizza sauce base over the pancake and spread the mozzarella, pepperoni and olives over the top.
- Place the pan back in the oven for 8 minutes until the toppings have melted and cooked. Sprinkle with the oregano leaves before serving.
