Learn how to make my amazing Microwave Mug Pizza recipe in just minutes. You can add any toppings you'd like and it's faster and better than pizza delivery!
Author: adapted recipe from Kirbiecravings.com
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/16 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon marinara sauce
  • 1 generous tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 5 mini pepperoni
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (basil or oregano will work)

Instructions

  • Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a microwavable mug.
  • Add in the milk and oil then mix together. There might be some lumps but that is ok.
  • Spoon on the marinara sauce and spread it around the surface of the batter.
  • Sprinkle on the cheese, pepperoni, and dried herbs
  • Microwave for 1 minute 10 - 1 minute 20 seconds, or until it rises up and the toppings are bubbling (timing is based on my 1200W microwave so your timing might vary)
  • Enjoy straight away!

Recipe Notes

Cooking time will vary greatly depending on your microwave and the width and depth of the mug. The mugs I use are small, roughly 6oz (¾ /1 cup)
Always keep a close eye on your mug while in the microwave so it doesn’t over flow or over cook.
⅛ teaspoon is simply a ½ of a ¼ teaspoon
1/16 teaspoon is simply a ¼ of a ¼ teaspoon

The dough was a little plain and the spices were a bit much on top so o would suggest putting the spices in the dough, but other than that it was delicious

I’ve tried this a couple of times now and it’s disgusting. Does not taste like pizza dough at all and the center is always raw, uncooked glop that looks like pancake batter. For a few more minutes of prep you could make a real pizza.

Hi Gemma.. Thank you very much for this recipe.. I am commenting actually for everyone who is leaving rude remarks.. You can say, “not for me” without being so distasteful.. Me myself, I do prefer a crispy base, which you need an oven for.. But I do not have one, seeing that I have been in Mozambique, living in a tent since 2018, doing what I can to help in a rural area.. I was gifted a microwave 2 months ago from family in South Africa, and now with the lockdowns, food supplies and ingredients are extra scarce.. So this… Read more »

Hi Gemma, This recipe is lovely, I double the recipe i sometimes make and use marinara sauce but the one I made this evening i used tomato puree, little baby tomatoes and grated cheddar cheese on top, halved the oil and a little less salt and used wholemeal flour instead of white. Put the dough on a plate and flatten to make a base put it in the microwave for 2 minutes on full power to cook the base, then add chosen topping and cook for 1 minute more 🙂

it came out interesting, with a doughy feel to my dough. not sure if it was undercooked, and i could have been just my microwave. overall a positive experience

Hey Gemma! Huge fan! I love your cooking. But this one was a little off for me, the dough had a weird dry flavorless donut feeling, not really cooked. But I think that’s just me being a horrible baker. Maybe it’s suppose to be like that? If not, then is there anything I can add to make it more crust-like?
Sorry I don’t mean to be offense I love your cooking. 😀

This mug pizza is average. It doesn’t taste like proper pizza. The dough is undercooked in the middle. I would give this recipe a 2.5. But I absolutely loveeee the mug Mac and cheese it’s amazing and takes 5 minutes. I would rate it 5/5
