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!

Recipe Tips

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.

We used this recipe tonight. My 5 yr old daughter LOVES making her own pizza and having your dough recipe was AWESOME. They turned out great. I don’t think I will ever buy pre made pizza dough again!!!
So awesome Tanya!! I’m so happy you loved the dough recipe. Making pizza with my kids is one of my favorite activities too! xo
Loved this recipe!! It was so easy and quick! I had to use a lot of extra flour because it was very sticky!! But, my hubby and I loved it for our pizza!!! Gonna see about maybe adding herbs to the dough for more flavor. I think this is going to be one of our most favorite recipes! Thank you!!!!
Hi Annette! It does come out sticky, but adding the flour while rolling allows more control with the dough. I’m so happy you and your hubby enjoyed the dough! I have made it with adding oregano and other herbs before and it’s definitely tasty! xo
I made this for my boyfriend and cousin. The dough was super sticky, but after reading the comments, I thought that was normal. I placed it in the pan and added sauce, cheese, and pepperoni then baked for eleven minutes. Afterwards I pulled the pizza out and set it to rest. The pizza was gorgeous, I could not wait to eat it. My boyfriend cut it and gave everyone two pieces. I took a bite and it was just no. I took two bites and that is it. I could not eat it. My boyfriend ate a few more bites to make me feel better about it tasting terrible. We ended up feeding it to the dogs. I followed the directions so I do not know of it was my baking powder or what, but the crust was absolutely awful.
Hi Jay! I’m so sorry your pizza dough didn’t work out for you! The dough does start sticky, rolling it out with flour does take away the stickiness. Starting with a sticky dough allows you the freedom to use flour to roll it out. It shouldn’t be sticky when you lay it out on your pan. And as you stated the baking powder could be old, which would lead to the dough not turning out correctly as well. I am so sorry your meal didn’t turn out as expected. Best of luck with future cooking! Let me know if you have any questions or need additional help 🙂
I made a few modifications, using whole wheat flour and heating it in the oven for 12 minutes at 450 degrees, and it turned out very well! I used it as the crust for a tarte flambée recipe, and it was phenomenal. Thanks for an incredibly easy recipe!
That sounds amazing Diana! Thanks for sharing that with me! So happy the dough worked out for you. xo
Does it work for calzones as well??
Hi Lauren! I haven’t tried it with calzones, I am adding that to my list of things to make. I imagine that it will, but I can’t give you an exact baking time yet! xo
I was planning on making pizza today, went to get all the ingredients, and promptly forgot to buy yeast. I was a bit weary on making a yeast-less version, since the ones I tried before didn’t turn out great. But I found this recipe and as it’s a bit different from what I tried before (and it’s a hassle to go back to the grocery store), I decided to try it. Yeast pizza dough will always be the best and irreplaceable in my opinion, but this one was a very good alternative! I was pleasantly surprised and I will keep this recipe for when I’m craving pizza but pressed for time (or forgetful haha). Thank you!
Thanks so much Marubi! I’m so happy the recipe worked for you when you needed it!!
Omg this is so good! I made a pan pizza with this, however I think i shouldnt next time because the dough was kinda thick and dense. But besides that, it’s really good! Also can I make this my recipe of the month on my website it’s sooo good!!
Thanks so much Jordan! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe 🙂 Feel free to feature it with a link! Thanks so much. xo
made this tonight and the dough didn’t cook and rise 🙁
Rebecca, I am so sorry it didn’t work out for you! I would recommend checking your baking powder, if it’s old it won’t rise as it bakes.
Now I did try this recipe and it turned out pretty well. I think I had mentioned it on Facebook about how it was very biscuit like and would work well as a base for a breakfast pizza, which I am still debating on making. In the meantime, I’m in a pickle.
I did go to culinary school for a few months before dropping out due to medical reasons….
Honestly I work in a restaurant now and feel I would have done pretty much the same had I finished that particular vocational program.
Anywho.
I’m broke and when I’m broke I get creative in the kitchen. I am considering making my own sauce for my pizza. No not a breakfast pizza.
Here’s what I propose to you, House of Yumm.
If you can come up with some me new and different sauces for pizza bases, other than your basic marinara.
That would be a great new blog post.
Hi Imelda! I love this! Such a great idea to make a sauce to go with the pizza! My husband is the master of sauces and dips in our house and he’s excitedly working on some stuff as we speak! Can’t wait to be able to share it here. Keep a look out! So glad you enjoyed the pizza dough recipe 🙂
Can this recipe be doubled or tripled? And if so, is there any adjustment in the ratio of the ingredients?
You can absolutely increase the amount! No adjustments to ratios needed 🙂
