It&#8217;s certainly the version that looks most like a waffle. And you don&#8217;t have to heat up the oven. The problem with doing it this way is the tendency for it to be too bready. After all, it&#8217;s going to have two crusts. If you haven&#8217;t, say, been working in a pizzeria for a few years, you might find it difficult to get the dough as thin as it needs to be for this to be optimal.<\/p>\n<p>The alternative, waffling the dough and then topping it and baking it, means the finished product may not completely resemble a waffle. But it&#8217;s a more forgiving dough-to-topping ratio. Even if the dough is thicker than you might like, the balance is less likely to be wildly off. Also, if you&#8217;re going to make multiple waffled pizzas, this is the way to go. Waffling the dough will take a bit of time, but then you can finish the pizzas in the oven together. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Waffleizer tackles the question &#8220;Will it waffle?&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Story related to waffles:  A colleague&#8217;s brother is a chef, who was objecting to management&#8217;s push for him to do a daily special at the restaurant (often it&#8217;s <em>whatever&#8217;s about to go bad<\/em> rather than a specialty of the chef).  So in protest, he offered up the Awful Falafel Waffle.
