Ingredients
You only need a handful of everyday items to whip up this surprisingly fluffy and flavorful batter pizza at home.
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
12 slices pepperoni
1/4 cup sliced green olives
Feel free to swap regular milk for oat or almond milk if needed, or use gluten-free flour for a similar texture. Turkey pepperoni and low-moisture mozzarella also work beautifully without changing the overall taste or bake time.
Follow these simple steps to mix the batter, pour, top, and bake a pizza that pulls like a dream every time.
Step 1: Crack the eggs
Crack four large eggs into a large mixing bowl. Whisk them lightly until the yolks and whites are just combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2: Add the milk
Pour one cup of milk into the eggs. Whisk again until the mixture looks smooth and evenly blended with no streaks remaining.
Step 3: Incorporate the flour
Add one cup of all-purpose flour and half a teaspoon of salt. Whisk steadily until a thick, lump-free batter forms that coats the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Prep the pan
Brush a round pizza pan or baking dish with one tablespoon of olive oil. Make sure the bottom and sides are evenly coated to prevent sticking.
Step 5: Pour the batter
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tilt gently to spread it into an even layer. The batter should look smooth and reach the edges.
Step 6: Add the sauce
Spoon pizza sauce into the center of the batter. Spread it outward in a thin layer, leaving a small border around the edge.
Step 7: Top and bake
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce, then arrange pepperoni and green olives on top. Bake at 400°F for eighteen to twenty minutes until golden.

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in a 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes for best texture. Freeze cooled slices wrapped tightly for up to 1 month. Use gluten-free flour and dairy-free cheese for dietary swaps.

What to serve with this recipe
Pair this cheesy batter pizza with simple sides that balance the richness and round out the meal.
Here are quick answers to the questions people ask most about this easy batter pizza method.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, mix the batter up to four hours in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Give it a quick whisk before pouring into the pan.
Why is my pizza soggy in the middle?
Too much sauce or wet toppings can cause sogginess. Use a light hand with the sauce and pat any wet ingredients dry before adding them.
Can I freeze leftover slices?
Absolutely. Cool completely, wrap individual slices tightly, and freeze for up to one month. Reheat from frozen in a 375°F oven for eight minutes.
What size pan works best?
A ten or twelve-inch round pizza pan gives the ideal thickness. A larger pan makes a thinner pizza that bakes a few minutes faster.
