Ingrediants
Pr 1 cup
- 30 g of white flour of type 00
- 0.5 g of instant yeast
- 1 g of salt
- 1 teaspoon of oregano
- 5 ml of extra virgin olive oil
- 25 ml of water
- 5 g of tomato puree
- 20 g of mozzarella
Materials Needed
- Mug
- Teaspoon
- Microwave
Preparation
- In a glass or ceramic cup (preferably wide and low), collect the white flour along with the instant yeast. Add a pinch of salt, flavor with oregano and mix with a teaspoon, adding a drop of oil and two tablespoons of water: you will have to obtain a very thick batter, not workable with your hands.
Did you know that
White flour can be replaced with wholemeal flour.
Oregano can be omitted from the recipe.
Water can be replaced with milk.
To calculate half a gram of instant yeast, it is recommended to weigh 1 gram of powder and take half of it.
We do not recommend the use of brewer's yeast: the recommended preparation is extremely quick, and the speed of preparation and cooking depends on the choice of yeast.- Level the surface of the batter with the help of a teaspoon.
- Fill with a little tomato puree and a slice of mozzarella.
- Place the cup in the microwave and cook for 90-120 seconds at maximum power, with the combined micro + grill function.
The idea in the pan
As an alternative to the microwave, it is possible to cook the dough in a pan, following the procedure for pizzette-pancakes.- Wait 2 minutes and serve. The pizza in a cup should be consumed directly in the container, in spoonfuls.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
Clearly, this cannot be considered a traditional pizza, but let me still call it pizza. It is an ultra-fast solution to prepare something tasty that recalls the pizza taste (the one we are used to appreciate).If you are really short on time, another interesting alternative is a version of the pizza without leavening.
