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!

Omg! My we so loved this delicious pizza recipe! Thanks for sharing. I will most definitely be making this again.
Hi…. What milk should i use???? Can i use evaporated milk????
You can use any milk you prefer or have on hand. I haven’t made it with evaporated milk yet, so I can’t say how that changes the texture.
Are we able to substitute the butter for baking margarine or normal margarine?
Butter in South Africa is ridiculously expensive!
Hi Ashleigh! I haven’t tried it with margarine, I’m not sure if the texture would be different. If you have any kind of cooking oil, like vegetable oil, that would work.
My boyfriend and I wanted to make pizza, but we didn’t have any yeast. This recipe saved the day!! It obviously does not taste 100% like pizza crust, but it’s tasty and still has a homemade pizza dough taste in my opinion. I used 1/4 cup olive oil in place of butter and I added garlic powder and Italian seasoning to my dough (this helped a lot with flavor). I also took the advice of other comments and baked the dough for about 5-7 minutes before placing the sauce and toppings on and this worked out well and helped the crust cook and crisp up. I would recommend this dough and I will definitely be using this recipe again!
Hello! Great recipe for pizza dough, it’s so yummy! Do you think this recipe could be used for cinnamon rolls?
This was super easy to put together using my stand mixer! I made a few substitutions/changes and I thought it turned out quite good! Instead of butter I used butter flavored shortening instead as that’s what I had on hand and at room temperature. I substituted garlic salt for regular salt and doubled the amount. I also added 1/2 teaspoon onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. I rolled it out thin and brushed the edges with seasoned olive oil before baking at 500 degrees. I also baked the dough by itself with no toppings for about 5 minutes just to make it more sturdy for sauce and toppings as I wanted to make sure the crust wouldn’t get soggy. After adding sauce and toppings I baked for another 10-12 minutes, watching carefully. It’s safe to say ALL pizza we eat from here on out will be homemade! 🙂
Work well, really yummy. Went down a treat
I read that we can also replace the butter with coconut oil. Can we use canola or olive oil instead? If yes, how much oil?
My family has been using this recipe for YEARS. We love it. For a family of 5 we double it and make personal pizza’s or calzones. Whichever we are in the mood for.
Thanks for this recipe! In the midst of a pandemic, yeast is hard to find 🙂 Hubby and I really wanted to make pizza.
We used whole wheat flour and oat milk instead of regular milk bc that’s what we had. All turned out well. We don’t have a mixer here and my husband stirred it up very quickly. By the instructions, I was expecting it to to take a lot more muscle.
I will say we had to keep it in the oven longer than indicated. About 20 mins and it still was pretty soft in the middle. We’d rolled it out pretty thin. I’d maybe crisp it up for about 5 minutes before adding toppings next time.
