Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust: Begin by placing the butter into a 9×13-inch baking pan and then place the pan in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) to melt the butter thoroughly.
-
Mix the Ingredients: While the butter is melting, combine the milk, eggs, flour, salt, and wheat germ in a mixing bowl until you achieve a smooth batter.
-
Coat the Pan: Once the butter is melted, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Tilt the pan slightly to ensure the melted butter coats the bottom evenly, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
-
Bake the Crust: Pour the prepared batter over the melted butter in the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, allowing the crust to set and rise slightly.
-
Prepare the Toppings: While the crust is baking, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until they become lightly browned and fragrant.
-
Combine Toppings: Stir in the tomato sauce, oregano, and salt, allowing the mixture to simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
-
Assemble the Pizza: After the crust has baked for 15 minutes, carefully spread the tomato mixture over the crust, ensuring an even distribution. Top with mozzarella and sprinkle with parmesan cheese for that extra layer of flavor.
-
Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
-
Customize as Desired: Feel free to add additional toppings such as mushrooms, sausage, or your favorite vegetables to the tomato mixture before spreading it on the crust.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the unique flavors of this Yorkshire-inspired pizza!
This delightful recipe brings an unexpected twist to your pizza nights, transforming a beloved favorite into a new family classic. Enjoy the unique combination of flavors and textures, and don’t forget to customize it with your favorite toppings for the ultimate pizza experience!
