CRAZY CRUST PIZZA

From Billie Reid

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef or sausage or 1 cup thinly sliced pepperoni sausage

BATTER:

1 cup self-rising flour

1 t. Italian seasoning or leaf oregano

1/8 t. pepper

2 eggs

2/3 cup milk

TOPPING:

Meat mixture

1/4 cup chopped onion, if desired

1 can (4 oz.) mushroom pieces, stems, drained (optional)

1 cup pizza sauce*

1 cup shredded Mozarella cheese

Preheat oven at 425.   This recipe makes a 14 or 12 inch pizza.

In medium fry pan, brown ground beef or sausage, seasoning to taste. Drain well; set aside.

Lightly grease and dust with flour or cornmeal 14 or 12 inch pizza pan or jelly roll pan.

Prepare batter. (No need to sift flour; measure by lightly spooning into cup and leveling off.) In small bowl, combine flour, Italian seasoning, pepper, eggs and milk, mixing until smooth.

Pour batter into pan, tilting pan so batter covers the bottom of the pan.  Arrange toppings of meat, onion, and mushrooms over batter.

Bake on low rack in oven at 425 for 25-30 minutes until pizza is deep golden brown. (Deep brown gives a crisp crust.) Remove from oven; drizzle with pizza sauce and sprinkle with cheese.  Return to oven for 10-15 minutes.

*To make homemade pizza sauce, use 

1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce, 

1-2 t. leaf oregano and 

1/4 t. pepper.
