Make a pizza bar of sorts if there are several people and everyone can really make their own because they’re just so easy to do.
Here’s my youngest helping me. I showed all of them how I created a few and then sent them off on their own so they could “do it myself”.
How to Make Pizza in a Mug
- First you’ll need a microwave mug which is on the larger size of things.
- Spray the inside with non stick spray if you have it.
- Lay 1 refrigerated biscuit in the bottom.
- In a 1200w microwave microwave for 30 seconds.
- Add a spoonful of marinara sauce on top with some cheese, pepperoni and any dried herbs you want.
- Microwave for 1 minute so it rises up and the toppings are bubbling and melted together.
Enjoy immediately! Yes you could make the dough homemade with milk and oil etc. but we are going with fast and easy here. 😉
You could cut refrigerated pizza dough and use that instead of biscuits to make our easy mug pizza recipe here. It isn’t as thick so you would want to cut into circles and double up to be the same size but will work well as the crust for a quick 2 minute meal.
Microwave Mug Pizza
Seriously that is how easy this single serving pizza is to make. It’s absolutely perfect when the kids need a quick meal.
There are 5 of us and when it is a “make your own dinner” kinda’ night this is perfect. 8 biscuits come in a package so there’s just enough for a light lunch or dinner for us.
