Ingredients
  

Dough ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/16 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 5 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Can be substituted with melted butter for a richer flavor.
Topping ingredients
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons prepared pizza sauce
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese Grate fresh mozzarella for a silkier melt, but pre-shredded works.
  • Pinch dried Italian seasoning
  • 6-8 mini pepperoni slices Can be swapped for other toppings as desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a 12 ounce microwave-safe mug, add the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir to combine.
  2. Add the water and olive oil, whisking until no dry pockets of flour remain. Smooth the dough batter into an even layer.
  3. Top with pizza sauce, ensuring it covers the dough, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and dried Italian seasoning.
Cooking
  1. Microwave on high for 1 minute 15 seconds.
  2. Remove the mug, add mini pepperoni slices on top of the melted cheese, and microwave again for an additional 15 seconds.
  3. Let cool for a minute before eating.

Notes

Serve it straight from the mug while warm. Store leftover pizza by covering with plastic wrap or a reusable lid and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave. For variations, consider using fresh vegetables, different cheeses, or spices.
