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.

Mixing bowl with flour, salt and baking powder with butter, then milk being added.

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.

Rolling pizza dough into a ball then rolling out onto a baking pan.

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.

Spreading pizza sauce on dough, then sprinkling with cheese.

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!

  1. Best Recipe for pizza ever, I use this recipe Every time I make pizza ?
    Thanks so much for making this Recipe itโ€™s absolutely Amazing. And Suuuper easy To make. I rate it 5 star!!

  2. I made calzones with this dough. They were so good and my whole family loved them. The texture is just right and they it was a quick, easy dough to make.

  3. We didn’t have any yeast in the house and we wanted pizza. . . So, this recipe worked exceptionally well. I accidentally added 2-1/2 cups of flour, instead of the suggested 2-1/4 cups of flour. I didn’t increase any liquids, but I did use coconut oil, instead of butter. I mixed the coconut oil in with the flour, first, then added the liquid. I used almond milk, instead of cow’s milk, and kneaded the entire ball of dough on a floured surface. I then split the dough in half, so I would use only half of it for one pizza’s thin crust. I also baked it for 10 minutes longer than suggested. It turned out beautifully, with all toppings added! Thanks for the great recipe. We now have enough dough for one more thin pizza!.

  4. I made this twice. The first time I forgot to put baking powder in the flour. The crust tasted so bland! The second time I made this-which is now, I put extra garlic salt in the crust along with the baking powder and it tastes a bit better. I may have to double up on the seasonings though if I make this again.
    I rolled this as flat as I could because sometimes I’m not a fan of doughy pizza. It still came out thick but it’s a plus because the only time I will eat pizza like this is if I want to be full.
    I guess using yeast gives it that extra pizza taste but for a person like me with a lack of patience who’s never used yeast a day in her life, this works for me! Thanks for this recipe.

  5. Threw it together right before lunch for my hubby, did half black bean and corn salsa toppings, over bbq sauce, the other half plane sauce for the kids (they’re extremely picky!). To my surprise my family LOVED IT! Hubby even took a slice back to work to share with a co worker he liked it that much! Making a second one later today with the kids, this time with vegan cheese. Can’t thank you enough for your recipe! Made my family so happy! I substituted milk with cashew milk, & vegan butter, turned out perfect!

  6. I tried this out. Followed every single step and it turned out to be amazing. Made a thin crust margarita topped with black olives. Literally gave me foodgasm. ?

  7. Really good dough, had a lovely rise to it. I donโ€™t like working in cups though I prefer grams and I found I had to add quite a bit more flour than the recipe due to stickiness. Having said that I will make it again only with about a cup more of flour. We are vegan so I used vitalite spread instead of butter and oat milk. I topped it with tomato sauce, artichokes black olives and roasted red peppers. Delicious
