    No yeast Pizza Dough Recipe

    No Yeast Pizza Dough to make instant pizza whenever the cravings for pizza emerge (and that's all the time in my case!)

    I created this pizza crust without yeast because I'm a huge thin crust pizza fan.

    I make pizza from scratch at least once a week by using my Italian homemade pizza dough.

    ❓ Why making a pizza crust without yeast?

    I love Pizza but I always make my pizza crust from scratch.

    Sometimes I forget to prepare my pizza dough and sometimes I'm craving pizza instantly.

    This is when I prepare my no yeast pizza dough.

    Of course nothing beats pizza crust made with yeast, but in case of an emergency the quick and easy pizza dough will come handy.

    Technically this yeast free pizza crust recipe is a flatbread pizza dough.

    Originally I used my Flammkuchen base recipe (Alsatian French /German Pizza) to prepare my yeastless pizza dough.

    Eventuelly I came to the conclusion that the pizza base could need some lightness.

    So, I modified the Flammkuchen base and came up with the best quick pizza crust recipe without yeast.

    No yeast Pizza Dough Recipe

    πŸ§‚ Ingredients

    You will need common food ingredients to prepare this pizza crust without yeast.

    This includes All-Purpose Flour, Salt, Olive Oil and Water.

    I also add baking powder to add some airiness to the homemade dough.

    Baking Powder, not baking soda.

    These are two very different ingredients.

    Baking powder is baking soda and cream of tartar combined.

    It's a leavening agent.

    So instead of yeast, you can add baking powder!

    That way you will have an instant pizza dough!

    Quick Pizza dough with self rising flour

    You also have the option of using self rising flour instead of all purpose flour and baking powder.

    Self rising flour is a combination of flour and baking powder.

    Don't skip the olive oil in the basic dough recipe!

    Olive oil makes the pizza dough elastic and we will need this because we don't add yeast.

    πŸ”ͺ How to make it?

    Preparing homemade pizza dough without yeast is straight forward and doesn't include waiting time.

    Step 1

    Mix the dry ingredients, flour, salt and baking powder together.

    Make a well and add the olive oil and some water at a time.

    Step 2

    Combine the ingredients with your hands or with a kitchen machine.

    Add water batch-wise, while forming everything to a dough.

    Step 3

    Create a smooth and elastic, non-sticky dough and shape to a ball.

    Now you can move on and roll out your no yeast thin crust pizza dough and add your toppings as usual.

    πŸ’‘ Special Diets

    The easy no yeast pizza dough is naturally vegan, as it doesn't contain animal products.

    No yeast Pizza Dough Recipe

    For a Gluten free pizza crust without yeast, you can use a mixture of gluten-free flours such as buckwheat, rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour.

    You can also prepare a low-carb, paleo pizza without yeast.

    πŸ‘οΈ Pizza topping ideas

    • Mini Pizza
    • Hawai Pizza topping (sorry guys I know, not everyone approves but that's my favorite)
    • Pepperoni & JalapeΓ±o topping

    no yeast pizza dough, yeast free pizza dough recipe
    Prep Time: 8 minutes
    Total Time: 8 minutes
    Servings: 8 slices
    Calories: 159kcal
    Recipe by: Helene Dsouza

    Ingredients

    • 2 Β½ cups All purpose Flour
    • Β½ Teaspoon Salt
    • 2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
    • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
    • 1 cup Water
    US - Metric

    Instructions

    • Add the all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder to a mixing bowl. Combine the dry ingredients.
    • Make a well in the center and pour in the olive oil and some of the water. Don't add all the water at once but instead add some water, a bit at a time, during the mixing process.
    • Start to combine the ingredients by hand or with a kitchen machine.. Form gradually a ball by adding some water at a time. The aim should be a smooth nonsticky ball of dough. If it's too sticky add a small quantity of flour if it's too dry add a few drops of water.
    • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and top it with your favorite pizza toppings.
    • Bake at 400 Fahrenheit/ 200 Celsius for about 13 minutes or until crisp and baked through.

    Notes

    Add water step by step to your flour. You will need around 1 cup/200 ml. It can be little less or little more. Adjust to your needs. This is because not every flour is the same and it also depends on your climate. A wet climate will need little less water, a dry climate little more compared.

      My absolute GO TO recipe for quick and easy pizza crust!! And I'm a professional baker and my first jobs as a kid were at pizza joints!! HAHAHA!! I zip it in my food processor and add garlic powder and oregano. Or in the summer fresh herbs from the garden. My family is into thin crust right now so I toss and roll the crust to fit my large pizza stones...16 -18 inch approx. I find they take 18 mins to bake - each stove is different! πŸ™‚ And then letting them sit for 5 mins before cutting : perfect pizza every time! <3 Thanks!

          I just made the pizza dough, it stretches like real pizza dough, I made it in a small oven that I have so I used a 12 inch pizza pan that I got from Amazon, and I only made half of the recipe to try it out. It’s fantastic it’s so easy I didn’t even use my machine I literally dumped everything in a bowl and mixed it up with a wooden spoon and then rolled it out on a floured surface. I cooked it for 13 minutes but it could’ve even gone for 15. It’s so good I will be making pizza all the time for everybodyπŸ™‚ Thank you for the recipe.

          thanks for sharing. About the bready comment: In that case maybe it needed a little bit more water. But of course, nothing beats a proper yeast pizza dough. That's an emergency dough. πŸ™‚

        Hi Nicole, thanks for your feedback. The water quantity depends on the flour and climate. It might appear odd but the climate makes a difference. I have made this dough in a wet and dry climate and I always needed some more water in a dry climate compared to a wet climate.

      I tried the recipe last night, I did add an extra tablespoon of olive oil & an extra 1/4 cup of water. The pizza turned out delicious! If I use self rising flour, do I use the same amount as when I used all purpose flour?

        Hi Anne, I haven't tried the recipe with self rising flour. But self rising flour is all purpose flour with baking powder combined. Perhaps you would need to skip adding baking powder to your self rising flour to make this recipe but I'm not sure.

      I made this today, because I didn't have the ingredients necessary for my normal pizza dough recipe. I had to use more than the 1/2 cup of water the recipe calls for (I scaled down the recipe to make 8 slices) but I liked it! It did turn out well, although I would do a few things differently next time. One, I would add more olive oil, as the dough just kinda of tasted like flour. Second, I would roll the dough out thinner! In my opinion, because this does not have yeast, if the dough is not rolled out as flat as it can go, it ends up being a little too dense when it cooks up.
      That being said, I will definitely use this recipe again with the changes I mentioned. Thank you for this recipe!

        Hi Faith, thanks for your feedback. I'm glad to hear that the dough finds use in your kitchen. πŸ™‚
        The quantity of liquids may vary at times and depends on the flour. Not all flours are the same and the humidity and climate make a difference as well. A dry climate makes all-purpose flour, well, drier. In a tropical climate, you might require less water because the environment is humid. I have made this dough in both climates and while it may sound far fetched, the climate makes always a difference to the state of your flour and how much water you might require.
        Adding more olive oil and rolling out the dough thinner are personal preferences and cool too. πŸ™‚

      Haven't tried it yet but I will. I used to have a recipe for pizza dough which was pretty much the same as this. Lost the recipe some time ago and I have been trying to remember it. Thanks for helping me get it back. And yes, the baking powder and oil are key. I actually prefer this dough over most yeast risen varieties and over most restaurant pizzas.
