Make Pizza Dough Without Yeast

Here is a fast and simple recipe for pizza dough made without yeast that is delicious and easy to make. This is a tasty traditional dough substitute for people with yeast allergies, or if you just don’t have the time to allow dough to rise before it is baked.

  • Servings: 4
  • Prep time: 15 minutes
  • Cook time: 15 to 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cup (450 grams) flour
  • 3 teaspoons (13 grams) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (6 grams) salt
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
  • 3/4 to 1 cup (180 to 240 milliliters) water

Steps

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Add the warm water and the oil.
  3. Stir all ingredients together until the mixture forms a ball. (Add more water if the dough becomes too stiff.)
  4. Turn out the dough onto a floured cutting board and knead the ball of dough gently for a few minutes. The dough should be soft, but not sticky. Sprinkle a little flour on the dough if it is too sticky to knead.
  5. Spread the dough onto a pizza pan or a flat baking sheet. Smooth out the dough so that it is uniformly even.
  6. Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 15 to 25 minutes.
  7. Remove pizza from oven and add desired toppings.

Tips

  • Cook pizza for five minutes and then add toppings.
  • Try spreading olive oil or melted butter on the dough and sprinkling it with garlic salt before you bake it.
  • You can bake the dough for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and add cheese and sauce. Return the dough to the oven to bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
  • If you don’t have baking powder, you can substitute baking soda—use half the amount and omit the salt.
  • Serve the pizza hot and when hunger is at its peak, it will be more delicious.
  • Try adding a pinch of Italian seasonings for more flavor. You could buy it in a mix at a supermarket, or you could make it yourself with some dried basil, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and a little red pepper.
  • Add some mixed herbs to the dough before baking.
  • Adding extra toppings like cheddar or mozzarella cheese.
  • Stuff crust with cheese for a extra spin on your pizza.
  • Bake the pizza longer if you prefer the crust to have a crunchy texture.
  • Knead for a bit longer.

Warnings

  • Check on the dough after it has been baking for 10 minutes. Thinly spread dough will cook faster and get crispier.
