Pizza in a Mug!

I suspect you are thinking, "what is this craziness?! you can't put pizza in a mug!" However, you my friend, are very wrong! You can put anything you like in a mug! So this is pretty much a pizza, squished into a mug. Now we are not using a real mug because I was too lazy to find one that said oven safe (you MUST make sure your mug says OVEN SAFE on it, otherwise it will break, not microwave safe, not dishwasher safe, OVEN SAFE) so we used these baking flower pot things. I dont know what they are called. Now, just an fyi, we were in a hurry when we made these, so if they look undercooked to you, its because they are, yours should be much prettier. If you do not have oven safe mugs: either use a muffin tin instead of a mug, or you can just use the pizza dough recipe and roll it out on a baking sheet. yay! Lets get started!

Okay, these are our ingerdients: Flour, Sugar, Oil, Water, Salt, Pizza Toppings (use whatever you want, we've got tomatoes and sausage [you should cook things like sausage that are bad for you when theyre raw beforehand] pictured here)

and of course, pizza sauce and cheese...we are cool and therefore are going to use pasta sauce instead of pizza sauce. I mean, you could use pizza sauce, but really they're the same thing...

These are our fancy little mug/flower pot things, aren't they purdy?

Mix the yeast and warm water, while the mixer is still mixing, add the sugar and continue stirring

Then add the oil, water and flour, and switch to the bread hook.

Stir until the dough forms a ball

Spray another bowl, or put butter on it, whichever you prefer

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth.

Like this. Putting it on the oven is good, because it is warm on the top of the oven. Only don't leave the side of the cloth hanging over the edge of the oven or your kitty will try to pull it over.


This is when we decided we were done waiting for the dough to be done. We waited about half an hour, you should probably wait about 45 min though, being in a hurry is not a good thing when you are cooking.


The amount of dough should make about three pizzas, so take about 1/3 of the dough and make it into a circle.


Make sure to grease your mug...


and shove the dough circle in there


then put some sauce in it


yes, just like that


and then your cheese...

which you can layer with any other pizza toppings


yay, fuzzy sausage!

and lots more cheese on top! If you really like sauce, you can put some more of that on top too.


And then stick it in a oven at 350 for anywhere from 15 to 25 min, depending on your oven and how well cooked you like your food.


We left it in for about 15 min. We probably should have left them in for longer, but hey, thats what happens when you're cooking in a hurry.


Now, unless you've got some miracle mystery oven, the cheese in the middle will probably be cold, so stick it in the microwave for about 1 min, more if you think it needs it, on high.


I think this looks delicious, even if the dough doesn't look quite done,
but you can make yours look prettier by cooking it longer
