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 had a whole heap of tomatoes that I decided to make tomato paste out of, so was looking for a simple pizza base recipe to go with it. Not only was it super easy, it turned out perfectly! Crispy on the edges, yet soft and delinquent on the inside. Will definitely keep this one saved for next time. Can not thank you enough for sharing! 🙂
That’s so awesome Erica! I love how you describe it as soft and delinquent! Makes me want to make it again!
I made this recipe after discovering that I was out of yeast. It worked out great. It was quick and easy. Made a delicious crust to for our pizza. Definitely a keeper.
Thanks so much for sharing Cameron! I’m so glad it worked out for you and you enjoyed it!
I made this tonight when I couldn’t find any yeast in the pantry. Although it is a more biscuit type dough, it worked very well in a pinch.
I used Earth Balance vegan butter and unsweetened almond milk and it turned out just fine. It held up under a ton of veggie toppings.
Thanks for a good emergency pizza dough recipe
So glad it worked out for you Heather! I agree there is nothing like a wonderful yeast pizza dough, but when time is against you this is definitely a winner 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I realized I was out of yeast on pizza night as I was pulling ingredients from the fridge and pantry, quickly searched Google for a no-yeast pizza dough recipe, and this was the top result. I didn’t even look at the others, just dove right in!
The dough was a dream to mix up in my Bosch and super easy to work with. The texture was not what I was expecting, going in or coming out. It is not the stretchy, chewy yeast dough you’re used to (obviously, so I don’t know why I was so put off by it, haha). The result is DELICIOUS, fluffy, yummy, super-filling pizza that my crew of picky eaters loved!
I mixed up a recipe and a half and it felt perfectly in my 12×17 jelly roll pan that I use for pizzas. The dough was SO easy to work with that I decided to mix up another batch so we can have leftovers for lunch tomorrow — that is something I would have never done even with my ‘quick and easy,’ no-rise yeast dough!
Thanks for the great recipe!
I was a little worried about the texture, both going in and coming out of the oven. It is not the stretchy, chewy yeast dough you are used to — BUT IT IS DELICIOUS! No complaints from my crew of picky eaters!
I made a recipe and a half and it just barely fit in my 12×17 jelly roll pan. I ended up whipping up another batch (listed measurements) and making a round pizza for leftovers tomorrow. That is something I would NEVER do with even my ‘quick and easy,’ no-rise yeast dough. This was truly a dream to mix up in my Bosch and it
Thanks so much Brea!! I’m so happy you and your crew of picky eaters enjoyed 🙂
This is a great recipe. I also used it for a dinner pie and put in cooked hamburg and rice and corn as a filling. Left enough to add the top layer of crust and brushed with egg. Family loved it!
What a great idea Matt!! That sounds wonderful! My family would most definitely love that also 🙂
I made this pizza today and it was fantastic! 5-Stars for sure! I substituted white whole wheat flour for the all purpose flour and olive oil for the butter (because I was out of butter at the time). I also added some garlic and Italian seasoning… just great! It had a slight rise to it so it wasn’t gummy and it held up very well to the sauce and toppings. I made a pizza with half of the dough and a turkey/broccoli calzone with the other half. My 5-year old loves to cook with me, and this is my new go-to pizza crust for us because it’s fast and easy enough for him to help me with! I think a weekly pizza night may be added to our menu! Thank you!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe Adrienne! Love that you added seasonings to it 🙂 This is definitely the perfect recipe to have kids help out with. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with me!!
This is the worst pizza dough I have ever seen. Not only was it crumbly but it also had no flavor. I have made pizza dough without yeast before with success but I do not recommend this one.
I’m so sorry this one didn’t work out for you Shelby! I’ve never had it turn out crumbly before. It’s possible that there was too much flour? Please let me know if you want to troubleshoot the recipe 🙂
This was totally baking powder biscuit dough it tasted like biscuits thanks but not a fan I guess I have to take the time to make it with yeast
Sorry it didn’t work out for you. Yeast pizza dough is one of my absolute favorite things ever, if I have the time I always opt for it 🙂
Just tried this tonight and loved it. Super easy. Have you ever tried using it as a pie crust dough?
I haven’t! I think it might poof up too much for a pie crust. But it would be fun to try it out.
Could I use water instead of milk in the recipe ?
I haven’t tried that so I’m not sure how it would turn out. I’m sorry!
