Ingredients and Substitutions
- Flour: Use an all purpose flour. This can be substituted with a gluten free 1:1 if needed.

- Milk: Use your preferred milk. Or you can use a milk alternative for a dairy free pizza dough. You can also substitute for water.
Find the complete recipe card below with measurements and full instructions.
How to Make No Yeast Pizza Dough
First, preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, or prepare your pizza pan to your preference or instructions.
Then in a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add in the butter and pour in the milk. Using a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer, mix on low speed until one ball of dough forms. (This can be made without a mixer, you will just stir until you have a ball of dough that forms)
Next, sprinkle flour onto a rolling pin and your hands, remove the ball of dough from the mixing bowl and pat down with flour to help form into a solid ball. The dough may be slightly sticky straight from the mixer, but just a small amount of flour will help it form into a ball.
Roll the no yeast pizza dough into a ball and set onto the prepared baking sheet. Using the rolling pin coated with flour roll out the dough to desired thickness, I find best results are to keep it about 1/4 of an inch thick.
Finally, spread with pizza sauce and top with desired toppings. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove the pizza from oven, allow time for it to briefly cool and enjoy!

- Reheating: Reheat in a skillet on the stovetop to add some crispness back into the the bottom of the crust. Or you can bake in the oven until warmed through.
Recipe Tips
- Make it Gluten Free: Swap out the flour for a 1:1 gluten free flour.
- Make it Dairy Free: Switch out the milk and butter for your favorite dairy free milk and use coconut oil or substitute with extra virgin olive oil.
- Freezer Meal: Prepare the pizza dough and roll it out, then par-bake it by baking in a 450 degrees F oven for 4-5 minutes. Remove the pizza crust from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Layer the sauce, cheese and toppings. Wrap the pizza in plastic wrap, then a layer of foil. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Bake frozen pizza at 450 degrees F for 10-15 minutes until cooked through and cheese is melted.

Made this tonight and it was WONDERFUL! Thanks so much for sharing it! This will now be our Friday Pizza dough recipe forever and always!!! 😀
Is this recipe for 1 pizza? If so, how large were you able to make it?
Thanks!!
Hi Patti 🙂 the recipe is for one pizza. It makes enough to serve about 4 people. I suppose it would be labeled a medium at most pizza places. I hope that helps!
Mine is in the oven right now, i think I over stretched it or added alot of more flour it’s about a 16 inch pizza lol. So far I’m really impressed with how well it looks to be coming out!
Thanks for the recipe! It is nice to have a quick alternative if homemade pizza is a last minute idea!
I’ve been trying other recipes for no yeast dough, and none can really replicate the yum of this. Love the butter!
Hi, is it possible to make this a day in advance and refrigerate it?
Michelle, I honestly haven’t tried this since it’s so quick to just make it fresh. I would imagine that the dough would be fine, you may need to adjust cooking times or allow the dough to return to room temperature prior to baking though! Let me know how it works if you try it out before I do.
Hey there! I’ve just made this recipe. It ways kind of hard, tho. The dough at first was so, SO sticky! But then with flour (a lot, maybe another cup) was just great. We used pepperoni, ham and beacon as toppings, with Mozarella cheese and some fine herbs. Thank you so muuuch! <3
Mayela, the dough is slightly sticky at first. It’s always better to start with it sticky though so we can do just like you did and add some flour 🙂 so glad you enjoyed it!
Just had this for dinner-it was great! However, with only two of us eating and lots of toppings we couldn’t finish. Is this good leftover? Alternatively can you split it or freeze it?
Hi Amanda 🙂 I’m so glad you enjoyed it! We actually just had this for our dinner tonite too! I haven’t tried freezing it. But it does make good leftovers. We just keep it in the fridge and re-heat it either briefly in the microwave, or you could put it in a skillet and re-heat on the stove too! Or be like me and just eat it cold 🙂 I will have to try freezing the dough next time I make some and see what happens!
You can freeze pizza dough, just let it thaw out and it should be good to go!
I made your recipe and substituted nonfat Greek yogurt for the milk. Best non-yeast pizza crust I’ve ever made. My daughter had third helpings and she never likes anything I make! 🙂
Leasha I love the idea of using Greek Yogurt to substitute! Thanks for sharing that 🙂 and I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
This recipe is fantastic! We’ve just finished eating it! Always used to swear by the yeast recipes but no need for that silly proving time now! 😀
Thank you so much for sharing Chloe!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it 🙂 Such an easy and quick recipe to make isn’t it!?
I’m really curious to try this! I always make yeast dough, but this dough looks so pillowy and soft I think I need to try it! Pinned 🙂
Thanks so much Ashley! It’s so quick, easy and delicious. You’ll love it 🙂
Made this for the second time tonight — thanks for a great recipe! I usually use yeast dough but this is SO much easier!
Yay!! I’m so glad. It’s so quick and easy right? Especially since I am never prepared enough to let my dough rise for an hour or so.
I’m 11 an I made this it is my favorite and it’s so easy!
That is so awesome Donatella!! xo
Thank you so much for such an easy recipe !! Baking the Pizza was so fun and tasted yumm.. 🙂
I tried this recipe today, and let me tell you, it came out as soft and pillowy as you stated and as it looks. I was shocked that this pizza dough came out so good without yeast. This is my pizza dough recipe from now on. My pizza came out delicious thanks to this No Yeast Pizza Dough 🙂
So happy you enjoyed it Crystal! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment. xo
