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 pulled up my go-to yeast dough recipe only to find that I was out of those little Fleishman’s instant yeast packets. That’s when I searched “what if I don’t have instant yeast for pizza dough”. And thankfully I was out, because gosh darnit, this was the best dang pizza dough that anybody made in under 5 minutes! I read through all the amazingly positive comments and they are spot on. This dough is easy, tasty, and has great mouth feel. I wanted to make it a bit “healthier” with a mix of white and whole wheat so I continued to read the comments. Happy to find that there or others like me out there. I used 1 cup whole wheat and 1.25 cups white and it was perfect! Highly recommended!!
This recipe is excellent. Next time I will leave it in the oven longer to make it even more crispy and add two table spoons of sugar. The sweetness of the crust will go well with my savoury delicious marinara sauce.
So glad you enjoyed 🙂
This was so easy and delicious! Thank you! I’m not one for waiting either. ?
Hi Serene,
I had my fingers crossed while making this because it was SO easy to work with. But sadly it didn’t do it for me 🙁 . It tasted more like a chicken pot pie crust than a pizza crust. Sorry! I made it as per the recipe with unsalted butter as well. I made a Bianca with olive oil, garlic and a sprinkling of Mozz and basil. The flavours got lost and all I could taste was a slight garlicky type of pastry. Maybe if I’d loaded it up with tomato sauce, lots of cheese/toppings, it would have come out better. Anyway, thanks for the recipe even if we didn’t like it!!

Hi Rain! I’m so sorry it didn’t work out for you. Sounds like you were looking more for a focaccia type dough, your combination of toppings sounds it would be amazing! This no yeast pizza dough is great for a super quick pizza, but sadly it doesn’t meet all needs! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a comment about your experience. I hope you stick around and try some other recipes though 🙂
It’s horrible it tastes like pie crust. It is so loose that the sauce broke through.
I made tonight the dough was dense needed to cook longer and the wet ingredients was too much made for a soggy pizza
If I don’t have milk, can I use equal amounts of water?
Do you bake the pizza dough first and then put your toppings on and then bake again or do you just bake t all at once?
Hi Karley, I don’t pre-bake the dough, just bake it all at once with the toppings 🙂
So easy FAST and delicious!!!
This dough is incredible! My husband requests pizza all the time now. Tonight I’m making a BBQ chicken pizza. I will never use another dough recipe. This one is perfection! Thank you!
I’m so happy you like the recipe! Thanks for sharing Sara 🙂
