Have you ever heard of the Pizza in a Mug? There are many versions out there featuring a handful of ingredients, some of them a little challenging to find. Being that many of us are on WW (Weight Watchers) we are probably familiar with the 2 ingredient dough that has become so popular! I love it too BUT it is a bit cumbersome to work with being that it is very sticky and you have to get out a rolling pin and flour and work with it to get it to the right dough like texture.
Trust me I get it! The other issue with the 2 ingredient Dough by WW is that many of us are taking more points then we think. Every time you throw down some flour to help alleviate the stickiness, you are ADDING POINTS!
Enter the bigger, bolder Pizza in a Mason Jar!
One of the many reason I love making things in a Mason Jar is that not only do you control the ingredients much better in terms of portions, but also there is little if any waste. Plus you can make more than one if you want because you have Mason Jars with a lid
Perfect for a make ahead!
Now this Pizza in a Jar is a Thick crust Cheese pizza. You can certainly add little pepperonis if you like, maybe a little bacon, pineapple or sausage. Make this exactly the same as you would order your pizza to go! But this will be so much better!
If you prefer a lower carb pizza you can substitute the Self rising flour with Almond flour if you like.
Personally, I prefer the self rising because I find the almond flour to be just a bit gritty. You can also easily adjust the point by using a little less flour (recipe at bottom) and you will have a thinner crust pizza. None of the other ingredients need adjusting whatsoever.
This Thick Crust Pizza in a Mason Jar is a Bigger, Bolder version of the Pizza in a Mug and the best part is its totally WW Smartpoint friendly!

Notes
can’t wait to try this.thank you. love pizza!!!
Let me know how it works for you!
This is so much better than I imagined. It really helps my craving for pizza. I added 4 thin slices of Italian chicken sausage to mine so yummy. I didn’t add more points for the sausage because they were so thin. I really don’t think it mattered>
So glad you liked it and got creative! And I agree on the chicken sausage!
Just had this for lunch- so easy and delicious. Thanks Barrett!!
So glad you enjoyed it! More to come!
