1 Minute Microwave Pizza In A Mug | No Egg 60 Second Pizza in a Mug | No Oven Pizza | Vegetarian Pizza


Okay, so this by far is the most interesting recipe I am sharing with you all. To those of you who follow me on my social media platforms would know how much I love and savour Pizza. I can eat a pizza almost every day, yes yes and I am not exaggerating, I promise I can; but then I am reminded of Joey’s dialogue from the television series Friends- once on lips, forever on the hips. So if like me you also loooove pizza and there are days when you crave for it really bad, but want to shut your mouth because of all the calories-then this recipe is going to solve your problem.

So are you ready?

This is:

·         1 minute pizza

·         A 60 second pizza

·         No oven pizza

·         Gets ready in a microwave

·         You only need a cup, a mug or a bowl –no other utensil required

·         No knead pizza

·         Anytime pizza, instant pizza and preparations takes only 1 minute.

·         Freshly made, no store bought pizza base needed

·         Can satisfy anytime hunger pangs.

·         Great for kids who loves pizza; this way you can portion control too.

·         Office lunch time meal idea too. I would prepare it a mug; cover it with Clingfilm and then just microwave at work. Piping hot pizza ready in 1 minute.


So if the above point entices you and excites you, you are on the right page. Now imagine, you have that sudden urge to have a pizza, but you are not hungry enough to have one whole pizza. Or you don’t want those frozen pizza from the supermarket or a store bought dominos, pizza hut or papa john pizza, you want to make your own, but again you don’t have so much time to knead the dough and work with the yeast-in both the above cases this one minute pizza in a mug in a microwave is your answer.

There are tons of recipes on this concept and I tried so many of them until this one worked really well for me. So this is my tried and tested recipe after many failures and attempts.

How to make a good Microwavable Pizza in a mug/cup/bowl? What are tips to make a good pizza in a cup? Here are my tips.

  • Measure the ingredients. Do not eyeball the ingredients or just use as per approximation. Correct measurements are very important.
  • Use a mug which is broad from the top, you want the microwave waves to reach up till the bottom, so cup that has a broad opening from the top, just like a bowl will do the trick.
  • Do not add too many toppings, just a handful. Remember it is a very small pizza.
  • This is an eggless recipe, without an egg and this is my next tip-please do not use egg, it will ruin your pizza.
  • Do not try to use whole wheat flour, I tried and it failed miserably.
  • You can use tomato ketchup or a mix of spicy sauce and tomato sauce instead of pizza sauce-and it work just fine.
  • Last but not the least, have it hot, eat it right when it’s out from the microwave. This is instant pizza recipe so you cannot reheat it –it will become rubbery, so have it instantly.

If you follow the above tips, I promise you can just not go wrong with this recipe. So, here is

Indian Vegetarian, No Eggs, 1 Minute Microwave Instant Pizza in a Mug recipe.


Ingredients:

4 tablespoons all purpose flour/maida

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

1 pinch baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons milk

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons pizza sauce (or tomato ketchup)

3 tablespoons grated mozzarella cheese

Toppings- I used 1 black olive, 1 tablespoon chopped capsicum and tomato

1 teaspoon dried herb (or mix oregano and basil)

1/4 teaspoon red chilli flakes

Method:

In a mug that you are using, mix all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Mix all the dry ingredients.

Add milk and olive oil. Mix with a fork, so that you don’t have any lumps.

Spread the pizza sauce on it.

Top it up with grated cheese and spread toppings.

Sprinkle dried herb and red chilli flakes.

Microwave for 1 minute.You will see that cheese has melted and is bubbling on the top.

Enjoy right away.


Notes:

You might need to microwave for 1 minute 10 or 20 seconds. The timing is based on my 1200W microwave so your timing might vary.

Cooking time might also vary depending on the size of the mug. The mug I used is around 1 and ¾ cup.

Always keep an eye, just in case you see that it is overflowing. Pause for 2 seconds and start the microwave timer again.
