If you’re in a hurry to get your pizza ready, you can use baking powder instead of yeast. Using baking powder makes the dough much quicker and easier to make, but it won’t have the same chewy texture or flavor as traditional yeast dough. Here is an easy and quick no-yeast pizza dough recipe.

Quick No-Yeast Pizza Dough Recipe

This is very quick to make because you don’t have to wait for the dough to rise. All you have to do is mix the ingredients, knead for a while, and bake. This recipe makes enough dough for one medium-sized pizza (or two small ones). The texture is a bit denser than traditional yeast dough, but it’s easy to make and takes just about 20 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients

• 250 g (about 5 dl / 2 cups) all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 200 ml warm water or milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt

2. Add Wet Ingredients

• Add the milk or water and olive oil to the dry ingredients
• Mix until a dough forms

3. Knead the Dough

• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 3-4 minutes, until smooth and elastic
• If sticky, add a little extra flour
• If dry, add a splash of milk or water

4. Rest briefly

• Let the dough rest for 5 minutes while you preheat your oven

5. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F)
• If you have a convection oven, preheat to 200°C (400°F)

6. Shape the Dough

• Roll or stretch the dough out on a floured surface or baking paper into your desired pizza shape
• Place on a baking tray or pizza stone

7. Add Toppings

• Add sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings

8. Bake

• Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling

Tips

• For a crispier base, bake the regular dough for 5 minutes before adding the toppings
• If you want extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder or Italian herbs to the dough
