Blender Pepperoni Pizza is a Brazilian-style pizza de liquidificador made with a pourable, no-knead batter, tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and oregano. Serve it with Fall Salad for an easy meal.
Unlike traditional pizza dough, this version uses a pourable blender batter with baking powder instead of yeast. There’s no kneading or rising time, and the crust gets a short first bake before adding the sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni. It’s ready in 35 minutes and makes one 16-inch pizza or two 8-inch pizzas. If you prefer a dough you can shape by hand, Easy No Yeast Pizza Dough uses a different yeast-free method.

The Story Behind This Brazilian Blender Pizza
In Brazil, the kitchen blender is used for much more than drinks and sauces. It’s also commonly used to prepare batters, including pizza de liquidificador, a Brazilian-style pizza made with a pourable batter instead of traditional pizza dough.
This type of blender pizza is also informally called pizza de preguiçoso, or “lazy man’s pizza,” referring to its easier preparation compared with traditional pizza dough. Pizza à Portuguesa is another Brazilian pizza made with toppings such as ham, mozzarella, eggs, onions, and olives.
Ingredients
- Whole milk – 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons. Whole milk adds moisture and richness while keeping the batter pourable enough to blend and spread across the pizza pan.
- Unsalted butter – 1 tablespoon, softened. Softened butter blends more easily with the milk and egg. Using unsalted butter also gives you more control over the salt in the batter.
- Egg – 1 large, at room temperature. The egg helps the batter set and hold together as the crust bakes. Bringing it to room temperature also helps it blend more easily with the other wet ingredients.
- Sugar – ½ teaspoon. A small amount rounds out the flavor of the batter.
- Salt and ground black pepper – 1 teaspoon salt and a dash of black pepper. Keep these amounts as written since the mozzarella and pepperoni already contribute saltiness to the finished pizza.
- All-purpose flour – 1½ cups plus 2½ tablespoons. The flour gives the pourable batter enough structure to set into a pizza crust during baking.
- Baking powder – 1 tablespoon. This gives the crust its lift without yeast. The batter can go into the pan without waiting for a traditional yeast dough to rise.
- Tomato sauce – ¼ cup. Use just enough for a thin layer over the partially baked crust. For a homemade option, Easy Pomodoro Sauce can be used as a pizza sauce.
- Mozzarella cheese – 1 cup shredded, or more if desired. Mozzarella melts easily, but you can use another good melting cheese instead.
- Pepperoni – as needed. Arrange the slices over the mozzarella before the second bake.
- Fresh or dried oregano – to taste. Fresh and dried oregano both work well for this pizza. Red pepper flakes can also be added if you want some heat.
How to Make Blender Pepperoni Pizza
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Make the batter: Add the milk, butter, egg, sugar, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend until combined. Gradually add the flour and blend until smooth. Stop the blender as needed to mix the batter with a wooden spoon and scrape down any flour from the sides. Once the batter is smooth, add the baking powder and stir well to incorporate it into the batter.
- Bake the crust: Pour the batter into a butter-greased pizza pan and spread it with a spatula to form a thin layer. Bake for about 10 minutes. PIC. 1
- Add the toppings and finish baking: Remove the pizza crust from the oven and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the top. Add the mozzarella and pepperoni, then return the pizza to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes. Top with fresh or dried oregano and red pepper flakes if desired. PICS. 2–3
FAQ About Blender Pepperoni Pizza
Add the milk, butter, egg, sugar, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend until combined. Gradually add the flour and blend until the batter is smooth. Add the baking powder and mix well. This pourable pizza batter skips the kneading and rising required for traditional yeast dough.
After the first 10-minute bake, the pizza crust should be firm enough to support the sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni. You’ll bake it for another 10–15 minutes after adding the toppings, so the crust doesn’t need to be fully baked yet.
Yes. Mix the pizza batter by hand with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are well combined. Pour it into the prepared pizza pan, spread it into a thin layer, and continue with the recipe as directed.
Yes. Partially bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes, let it cool completely, wrap it well, and freeze it for up to 3 months. Leave off the tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni until you’re ready to finish baking the pizza.

- 1 large egg – at room temperature

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or more or other melting cheese of your choice
- pepperoni slices
- fresh oregano leaves or dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Make the batter: Add the milk, butter, egg, sugar, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend until combined. Gradually add the flour and blend until smooth. Stop the blender as needed to mix the batter with a wooden spoon and scrape down any flour from the sides. Once the batter is smooth, add the baking powder and stir well to incorporate it into the batter.

- Add the toppings and finish baking: Remove the pizza crust from the oven and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the top. Add the mozzarella and pepperoni, then return the pizza to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes. Top with fresh or dried oregano and red pepper flakes if desired.
Recipe Notes
- Pizza size: This recipe makes 1 16-inch pizza or 2 8-inch pizzas.
- Choose the right blender capacity: Leave enough room in the blender for the batter to move as the flour is added. If your blender is small, avoid filling it close to the top.
- Avoid overloading the blender: If the motor starts struggling as the flour is added, stop and stir the batter by hand before continuing. Don’t force a thick mixture through the blades.
- Check for sticking before slicing: Run a thin spatula around any areas of the crust that have caught on the pan before lifting out the first slice. This makes serving easier without tearing the crust.
