Ingredients
To make this microwave mug pizza, you’ll need:
For the Dough:
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour – The base of your pizza crust, providing structure.
- 1/8 tsp baking powder & 1/16 tsp baking soda – Helps the dough rise slightly for a soft, bread-like texture.
- A pinch of salt – Enhances the flavor of the crust.
- 3 tbsp milk – Adds moisture to create a soft and tender dough.
- 1 tbsp olive oil – Helps make the dough rich and prevents it from drying out.
For the Toppings:
- 1 tbsp pizza sauce – Adds classic pizza flavor; use homemade or store-bought.
- 2 tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese – Melts beautifully for that gooey, cheesy goodness.
- A sprinkle of dried oregano or Italian seasoning – Gives your pizza an herby, pizzeria-style touch.
