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
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 Rise Pizza Dough ingredients
You will need common food ingredients to prepare this pizza crust without yeast.
This includes All-Purpose Flour, Salt, Olive Oil
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 wiht 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.
How to make Pizza dough without yeast?
Preparing homemade pizza dough without yeast is straight forward and doesn’t include waiting time.

Step 2

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.
