A fast and easy microwave mug pizza recipe that delivers a warm, cheesy, and comforting snack in under 5 minutes using simple pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (30 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) milk (whole or 2%, or dairy-free like almond or oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) tomato sauce (marinara or pizza sauce)
  • 3 tablespoons (30 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Optional toppings: sliced pepperoni, diced bell peppers, chopped olives, fresh basil, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine 4 tablespoons (30 g) all-purpose flour, 1/8 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir with a fork to blend well.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons (45 ml) milk and 1 teaspoon olive oil to the mug. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Add a tiny splash more milk if too dry.
  3. Spoon 2 tablespoons (30 g) tomato sauce on top of the batter without mixing it in.
  4. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons (30 g) shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Add any optional toppings lightly.
  5. Microwave on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes (60-90 seconds). Start with 60 seconds and check doneness. The pizza is done when dough is set and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Let cool for 1 minute before eating.

Notes

Use freshly shredded mozzarella cheese for better meltiness. Avoid overfilling the mug with toppings to ensure even cooking. Adjust microwave time based on your microwave’s power. Let the mug pizza cool briefly before eating to avoid burns. For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients accordingly.
