How to Baking Pizza in a Microwave.

You don’t always need an oven to bake your favorite recipes. With a microwave, you can make delicious baked meals, like bread, pizza, cake, and brownies, in a shorter amount of time. Just make sure you’re using microwave-safe pans and trays! Keep in mind that exact baking times will vary depending on how many watts your microwave has.



Ingredients.

½ cup (118.3 mL) warm water.

1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) sugar.

1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) instant yeast.

1 cup (236.6 mL) flour.

1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) salt.

2 tablespoons (29.6 mL) cooking oil.

Pizza sauce.

Cheese.

Pizza toppings.



Prepare a bowl of instant yeast. Combine ½ cup (118.3 mL) of warm water and 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of sugar in a small bowl. Once the sugar is dissolved, add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of instant yeast to the bowl. Stir the yeast and sugar water thoroughly. Set the bowl aside for 10 minutes to rest.



Mix 1 cup (236.6 mL) of flour and 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of salt in a large bowl. Stir the salt and flour thoroughly using a spoon. Then, make a hole in the center of the bowl using the spoon.



Pour the bowl of yeast into the center of the flour mixture. Stir the yeast into the flour mixture using a spoon or your hands. Continue stirring until the dough starts to form. If the dough is too dry, add more water.



Add 2 tablespoons (29.6 mL) of cooking oil to the dough and knead it for 5 minutes. To knead the dough, roll the dough back and forth in the bowl using your hand. When you’re finished, the dough should be a smooth ball.



Cover the bowl of dough with a damp cloth and let it rise for an hour. After an hour, check on the dough. If it has doubled in size, it’s finished rising. If not, re-cover with the damp cloth and let it continue to rise.

Place the bowl of dough in a warm place to help it rise faster.



Separate the dough into 2 pieces and roll them out with a rolling pin. Sprinkle a pinch of flour onto the dough to help you roll it out. Bring the rolling pin back and forth so the dough gets flat and round. Keep rolling until the dough is about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. This will be the crust for your pizza.



Poke tiny holes in the dough using a fork. Gently pierce the surface of the dough with the fork every .5 inches (1.3 cm) or so across the dough's surface. The holes will let air circulate through the dough so it doesn't bubble up in the microwave.



Add your favorite toppings to the pizza dough. Start with pizza sauce and cheese. Then, add your toppings of choice. You can add chopped vegetables like onions, peppers, and mushrooms. If you want to put meat on your pizza, make sure it’s already cooked all the way through.



Place the pizza on a microwave-safe wire rack and microwave for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, check on the pizza. If the cheese doesn’t look melted, microwave it for another 1-2 minutes.

If your microwave didn’t come with a wire rack, look for one online or at your local shopping center.



Cut the pizza into slices and serve. Transfer the pizza from the wire rack to a plate using a spatula. Use a knife to divide the pizza into even slices.
