Can I use a different flour?

Yes, whole wheat, buckwheat, or rice flour work, but the texture will differ. For a classic result, use all-purpose flour.

Can I replace mayo with sour cream?

Yes, but the batter will be less rich and may be denser. A 1:1 mix of sour cream and mayo works best.

How many pizzas does this make?

This batter makes one 9–10 inch pizza, enough for 2 servings.

Do I need to grease the pan?

If using a non-stick pan, you can skip oil. Otherwise, lightly grease with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

SIMPLE PROCESS

Step by step recipe

For the perfect pan pizza, mix the batter to a thick sour cream consistency. Heat the skillet over the lowest heat so the base cooks evenly and the cheese melts without burning. Cover and don't peek for the first 10 minutes — this ensures even cooking and a fluffy texture.

Step 1

Make the Batter

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, mayonnaise, sour cream, baking powder, and flour. Mix until you get a smooth, thick sour cream consistency.

Step 2

Prep the Toppings

Slice the sausage into thin rounds or strips. Grate the cheese coarsely.

Step 3

Pour the Batter

Heat a skillet over the lowest heat, lightly grease if needed. Pour the batter into the skillet and spread it evenly with a spoon.

Step 4

Add Toppings

Immediately top with the sausage slices and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Add any extra seasonings if desired.

Step 5

Cook Covered

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over the lowest heat for 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the base is cooked through.

Step 6

Serve

Transfer the pizza to a cutting board, slice, and serve hot. Enjoy!

CHEF'S TIP

Use a Non-Stick Skillet

The mayo-based batter tends to stick, so use a good non-stick pan or lightly grease it with oil.

Don't Lift the Lid During Cooking

The first 10 minutes are crucial — opening the lid too early can make the base sink and the cheese not melt properly.

Control the Batter Thickness

Spread the batter evenly, not too thick, so it cooks through quickly and gets a crispy crust.

Get Creative with Toppings

Try ham, chicken, mushrooms, or veggies instead of sausage. Just slice them thinly so they heat through.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Add your taste

With Chicken Instead of Sausage Replace sausage with cooked or smoked chicken breast, diced — makes it more diet-friendly and protein-rich.
With Tomato Sauce Spread a thin layer of tomato paste or ketchup on the batter before adding toppings for a tangy kick.
With Mushrooms Use sautéed mushrooms with onion instead of sausage for a vegetarian version.
With Mozzarella Swap semi-hard cheese for mozzarella — the topping becomes stretchier and creamier.

HOW TO STORE

How to Store Stovetop Pizza

Cool the pizza to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a dry skillet for 2–3 minutes per side or in the microwave. Freezing is not recommended — the base may become rubbery.
