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!
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

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, 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
