  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make a 10-minute skillet pizza with kefir batter? Gather your ingredients, starting with the batter. Use full-fat kefir—it makes for a softer, fluffier, tastier base. Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the salt. Whisk until the egg mixture is smooth and even.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Pour in the kefir and add half a teaspoon of baking soda so the pizza base rises nicely.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Stir to combine.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Add the sifted wheat flour and stir with a spoon until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. It should be a little thicker than pancake batter. Set the batter aside and, in the meantime, prep the toppings.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Use whatever cooked sausage you like—bologna, smoked, or semi-smoked. Cut it into cubes or thin strips.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Wash and dry the tomatoes, cut out the stem end, and slice them into thin rounds.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Peel the onion and cut it into rings or half-rings. I used a red onion, but a regular yellow one works too.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    You can use any hard cheese, as long as it's good quality and melts well. Grate it on the medium holes of a box grater.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Combine the mayonnaise and ketchup in a bowl and mix well.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    Grease the skillet with vegetable oil and pour in the batter. Using a pastry brush, gently spread the ketchup-mayo sauce over the top. Scatter the sausage cubes over the base, then arrange the onion rings and tomato slices. Feel free to add other toppings to taste—olives, chopped pickles, sliced hard-boiled eggs, or whatever you like.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top. Set the skillet over low heat, cover with a lid, and cook the pizza for about 10 minutes. Then take off the lid and let the cheese melt and the base turn golden.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12

    Slide the pizza out of the skillet and serve right away. Enjoy!
