1. Make the crust:

1. In a large microwave-safe mug (12+ oz capacity—batter rises!), whisk your chosen base ingredients until smooth.
2. Microwave 30 seconds on HIGH. (This pre-sets the crust so toppings don’t sink.)

2. Layer toppings:

1. Spread pizza sauce over warm crust.
2. Sprinkle ⅔ of cheese, then toppings, then remaining cheese (cheese-on-top prevents sogginess).
3. Sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.

3. Microwave:

• 60–90 seconds on HIGH until cheese is bubbly and edges pull slightly from mug.
• ⚠️ Watch closely at 60 sec—ovens vary! Overcooking = rubbery cheese.

4. Rest & serve:

• Let sit 1 minute (continues cooking + prevents burns).
• Run a butter knife around edges; invert onto a plate OR eat straight from the mug!

💡 Pro Tips for Best Results:
✅ Use a LARGE mug—batter expands 2x; small mugs = overflow disaster.
✅ Low-moisture mozzarella—pre-shredded bagged cheese works better than fresh (less water).
✅ Pre-cook watery veggies—microwave mushrooms/peppers 30 sec first to remove moisture.
✅ Crisp the top (game-changer!): After microwaving, place mug under a broiler 1–2 minutes until golden (watch closely!).
✅ Low-carb/keto version (you love this!): Almond flour base creates a tender, bread-like texture. Net carbs: ~3g.
✅ High-protein boost (you love this!): Oat flour + egg + Greek yogurt base delivers 10g protein.
✅ Flavor hack: Add ¼ tsp onion powder + pinch of red pepper flakes to sauce for depth.
