Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

⅛ teaspoon salt

1/16 teaspoon baking soda

⅛ teaspoon baking powder

5 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 ½ tablespoons prepared pizza sauce

2 ½ tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese

Pinch, approximately 1/16 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

6-8 mini pepperoni slices

Directions

In a microwave-safe mug, I mix the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until everything is evenly combined.

I add the water and olive oil, then stir until a smooth batter forms with no dry spots.

I spoon the pizza sauce over the batter and gently spread it evenly.

Then I sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add Italian seasoning and mini pepperoni slices.

I microwave it on high for 1 to 1 ½ minutes, or until the dough is set and the cheese is melted. Cooking time may vary depending on the microwave.

I let it cool for 1 minute before enjoying it straight from the mug.

Variations

I like switching the pepperoni for cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, or extra cheese. I can also use a spicy pizza sauce or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for more heat.

Storage/Reheating

I think this mug pizza tastes best fresh, right after microwaving. If I need to store it, I cover the mug and refrigerate it for up to 1 day. To reheat, I microwave it in short intervals until warmed through.

FAQs

Can I make this mug pizza without pepperoni?

Yes, I can leave out the pepperoni or replace it with vegetables, cooked chicken, or extra cheese.

Can I use a different cheese?

Yes, I like using mozzarella, but cheddar, provolone, or a pizza cheese blend also works well.

Why is my mug pizza doughy?

It may need a little more microwave time. I microwave it in 10-second intervals until the dough is set.

Can I make this in a bowl instead of a mug?

Yes, I can use a microwave-safe bowl as long as it has enough room for the batter to rise slightly.

Can I double the recipe?

I prefer making one serving at a time because doubling it may cook unevenly in the microwave.

Conclusion

This mug pizza is an easy single-serving recipe I can make whenever I want a quick pizza snack. It is cheesy, soft, customizable, and ready in just a few minutes.
