Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter

Optional Add-ins

  • Herbs (such as rosemary or thyme)
  • Cheese
  • Spices (such as garlic powder or paprika)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and olive oil (or melted butter). Mix thoroughly until a smooth, batter-like consistency forms without lumps.
  3. Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 to 2 minutes. The bread should rise and become firm to the touch when done. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.
  4. Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the mug for about a minute before carefully removing it. Slice if desired and enjoy warm, plain, or with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary, so check the bread after 1 minute to avoid overcooking.
  • Use a microwave-safe mug to prevent damage or accidents.
  • For a richer flavor, replace milk with buttermilk or add a teaspoon of sugar.
  • Optional add-ins such as herbs, cheese, or spices can be mixed into the batter for added flavor.
  • Consume the bread shortly after cooking as microwave bread tends to dry out quickly.
