What is No Yeast Pizza Dough Recipe?

No yeast pizza dough uses baking powder instead of yeast to help the dough rise. Since there's no rise time required, it's a quick and easy way to make homemade pizza crust using simple ingredients you likely already have on hand.

Ingredient Notes

See printable recipe card below for exact ingredients and full directions.

• All-Purpose Flour: The base of the dough. Be sure to measure accurately for the best texture.
• Baking Powder: Acts as the leavening agent, allowing the dough to rise without yeast.
• Olive Oil: Adds flavor and helps create a more tender pizza crust.
• Pizza Sauce & Toppings: Customize with your favorite cheese, meats, and veggies. For a sweet and spicy twist, try adding my Candied Jalapenos as a topping.

Variations

• Add Extra Flavor: Mix in ½ teaspoon garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or oregano with the dry ingredients.
• Make Mini Pizzas: Divide the dough into smaller portions and let everyone add their favorite pizza toppings.
• Use Whole Wheat Flour: Replace up to half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier pizza crust.
• Change the Toppings: Top with classic pepperoni and cheese or load it up with your favorite veggies, meats, and sauces.

How to Make No Yeast Pizza Dough

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.

Step 2. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil along with ½ cup of the water.

Step 3. Using a fork, stir until a shaggy dough begins to form. Add the remaining ½ cup water and continue mixing until the dough comes together.

Step 4. Lightly flour a pizza pan or baking sheet and place the dough on top. Using a rolling pin, spread the dough into a 14-inch pizza crust. If needed, add a little extra flour to prevent sticking. Bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding your pizza sauce and toppings.

Step 5. Remove the pizza crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, seasonings, and toppings.

Step 6. Return the pizza to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm.

Tips for Success

• Measure the flour carefully: Too much flour can make the dough dry and tough.
• Don’t overmix the dough: Mix just until the ingredients come together for the best texture.
• Use a lightly floured surface: This helps prevent the dough from sticking to your rolling pin.
• Pre-bake the crust: Baking the crust before adding pizza sauce and toppings helps prevent a soggy center.
• Roll it thinner for a crispier crust: For a softer pizza crust, leave the dough slightly thicker.

Storage & Make-Ahead

• Refrigerator: Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Make Ahead: Prepare the dough, wrap it tightly, and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before rolling out and baking.
• Freezer: Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.
