Recipe Notes
1/16 teaspoon is simply a ¼ of a ¼ teaspoon
It was amazing!
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 »
OMG! this is my favourite recipe IN THE WORLD! it’s quick and easy and tastes absolutely delicious. I didn’t have mini pepperonis or spices, so I was a little worried, but it turned out AMAZING!! 5 stars!!
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, by accident i found your youtube channel about the mug meals, immediately once done waching that video, i grab all the ingredients from my cabinet, and boom amazingly 2 recipes done in a minutes its pizza and banana muffin, my kid love it so much, many thanks for the delicious, simple and super easy recipes…..godbless you…
Ps: sorry if my English not good as i am Indonesian and not fluent on it ????????
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
