Have you been introduced to the Dash Mini Waffle Irons and the ever-expanding world of chaffle recipes? If not, you are in for a real treat with this chaffle pizza recipe. If you thought the pizza was off your keto or low carb plan, think again.

What exactly is a chaffle? In the most simple terms, “Chaffle” is a combination of the “CH” from “Cheese” and the “affle” from “waffle.” If following a low-carb or keto diet, it is an excellent addition to your food choices. They are quick and easy to make.
The original version is simply egg and mozzarella cheese mixed into a batter and cooked in a mini waffle iron. They were intended to be a low carb substitute for waffles. Chaffles make a great low carb stand-in when you want something that can take the place of a traditional waffle.
Since that simple beginning, the concept and variety of recipes have exploded. You can now find:
- Traditional waffle chaffle
- Sweet chaffle
- Dessert chaffle
- Savory chaffle
- Pumpkin chaffle
- Cinnamon roll chaffle
- Chocolate chaffle
- Chaffle buns
- Sandwich bread chaffles
- Wonder bread chaffle
- Pizza crust chaffle
- And more
Dash Mini Waffle Iron
The mini waffle iron is an essential appliance for these recipes. Fortunately, they are quite inexpensive. You will frequently find them on sale for under $15 at several department stores as well as online. The mini waffle iron makes a 4 inch round, which is a perfect size for making just a serving or two. It also makes an ideal size to adapt recipes to mini pizzas, buns, sandwich bread, and waffles. And it is the perfect size for popping into the toaster. In addition to the mini waffle iron, Dash also has a Mini Grill and Mini Griddle in the same size and configuration as the waffle iron.

In this recipe, I have chosen to use the mini grill to make the base crust. The Chaffle Pizza crust recipe will also work fine with the waffle iron. I prefer the grill pattern for a flatter texture.
About This Chaffle Pizza Recipe
Unlike many pizza recipes that are designed to achieve a crispy, cracker-thin crust, this one is designed to have a more bread-like crust, reminiscent of flavors and textures of deep-dish style pizzas.
While chaffle recipes are perfect for small quantities, this one is for eight servings. Chaffles can be refrigerated or frozen until ready to use. They also make an excellent option for letting individuals each make their own. Just prepare an assortment of toppings and let everyone assemble their own.
If you want to make a smaller quantity, the crust ingredients will divide evenly by 2 or 4. There would be additional pizza sauce leftover, which can be frozen for later use.
