  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 5 tablespoons water Adjust if necessary depending on flour type.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a 12-ounce, microwave-safe mug, add the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir to combine.
  2. Add the water and olive oil, whisk until no dry pockets of flour remain. Smooth the dough into an even layer.
Topping and Cooking

  2. Microwave on high for 1 minute 15 seconds.
  3. Remove from microwave, add mini pepperoni slices, and microwave again for an additional 15 seconds.

Notes

Let it rest a minute so the cheese sets and the steam settles. Serve right in the mug with a napkin tucked under. If reheating, microwave on medium for 30–45 seconds until warmed through.
