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!

I’m hoping to turn this into some kind of bread stick as a side- I’m thinking of following directions as is but then topping with olive oil, some italian seasonings, and some parmesan cheese…any thoughts or recommendations on trying this?
Not horrible for a no yeast dough. Much more a cracker than a pizza crust in my opinion. Had to back about twice as long for it to have the crunch of a pizza crust
Quick and easy and made for a great pizza… I roll mine out thinner than the 1/4″ but that is because we like it “thin and crispy” and I always brush the dough with oil once rolled out before putting the sauce and toppings on to stop it from going soggy. I also made this once using extra virgin olive oil rather than the butter and water rather than the milk (I was out of milk and the store was closed) and it worked out just fine.
If you like a puffy, biscuit-like pizza dough, this is for you. I was reminded of the Kraft homemade pizza kits of the 60s and 70s.
THE best pizza dough recipe tht doesn’t use yeast. It tastes amazing, the texture is amazing and it’s incredibly easy. We made one gluten free (using wheat free flour) and dairy free (using margarine and soy milk) and one as the recipe and they were both amazing. Gluten free is usually a bit dry and the textures questionable but this was so good!
Can you use bread flour?
Hi Tami, I don’t usually have bread flour on hand, so I haven’t tried it. But you should be able to use this as a substitute.
Can olive oil be substituted for butter?
Yes. You can use oil instead of butter in this recipe.
Hello there!
How much oil? I’m also confused on the butter. The video says unsalted, but the written recipe calls for regular butter. Does it matter?
Thanks!
Hi Nicole. The recipe uses unsalted butter. If you are using salted butter you will need to reduce the amount of salt being added. And oil would only be used as a substitute for butter. If you have no butter on hand you can use oil instead.
Not enough flour. Kept having to add more and more to get the ball to form. Added at least another half cup of flour and dough mixture would not hold together.
Instead of pizza I made dough balls with cheese on the inside. So so yummy. Dipped it into honey butter and was ????? my s.o. loved them too. Thank you!♥️
Great easy recipe using items most people already have in their pantry and fridge. It is a little more biscuit like than true pizza crust, but that’s to be expected without the yeast. We did up the salt, added some garlic powder, and used the recipe for homemade pizza sauce. We rolled out our dough very thin, just under 1/4 inch as well as baked it about 5 minutes before putting on sauce and toppings and finish baking. Came out tasty and held up well fully loaded. Even the kind-of-particular-teenager liked it. Will definitely make again.
