DIY pizza rolls without baking – no problem with the waffle iron

For a snack between meals, you don’t have to spend a long time preheating the oven to enjoy delicious pizza rolls. Prepare normal pizza dough or use ready-made pizza dough from the refrigerated section.
Roll out the dough and cut out small, round pizzas. Fill them as you like and fold them in the middle. Press the edges down a little and put them in the waffle iron. After about four to five minutes, the crispy pizza buns are ready.

Preparing potato pancakes in the pan usually takes a lot of time. It’s faster in the waffle iron. Prepare the batter as usual using the potatoes, onions, egg, oil, salt and some cornstarch. It is important that the dough is firm. Otherwise, the potato pancakes will easily break in the waffle iron.
Now form the potato pancakes from the dough and place them on the waffle iron. Don’t make the buffers too thin as the waffle maker will still emboss a pattern. After about five to six minutes, the potato pancakes should be crispy and cooked through.

You don’t have to turn on the stove for a delicious and, above all, quick frittata. It works just as well in a waffle iron. Crack the eggs and add the ingredients for the Italian egg dish cut into small cubes. There are no limits to your creativity when cooking. Salami, mushrooms, vegetables, or cheese – stir whatever you fancy into the eggs.
Grease the waffle iron a little with butter and pour the mixture into it. Your delicious frittata is ready in less than five minutes.

You can even make macaroni and cheese with your waffle iron. Of course, the noodles must be cooked. With this variant, you can quickly conjure up a tasty meal from leftovers.
Simply put the macaroni – it also works with other noodles – is in the waffle iron, preferably not so distributed, but rather in the middle. After two minutes, the noodles are not only hot but also really nice and crispy. Now sprinkle some cheese on top and the “Mac and Cheese” is ready.

French toasts are also known as “poor knights”. To do this, slices of toast are soaked in a mixture of milk and eggs, and sugar. For eight slices of toast you need 200 milliliters of milk, three eggs and three tablespoons of sugar.
The toast slices soaked in the egg and milk mixture are usually fried on both sides in the pan. With the waffle iron it is faster and you save turning.
