How to Make No Yeast Pizza Dough
Making No Yeast Pizza Dough is wonderfully simple. With just a few ingredients and easy steps, you’ll have a tasty pizza base ready in minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups bread flour (or plain/all-purpose flour; Note 2)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp olive oil (or any other oil)
- 1/2 cup water (cold tap water)
- 1 tbsp extra flour (for dusting)
- 2 tsp vegetable oil (optional, for brushing crust; can be canola or other neutral oil) (Note 3)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 250°C / 480°F (230°C fan) (Note 4). Place the shelf in the top quarter of the oven.
- Lightly spray a pizza pan or baking tray with oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare your pizza sauce and toppings beforehand. It’s a good idea to keep the shredded mozzarella in the fridge until you’re ready to use it (Note 5).
- To make the dough using a food processor: Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in the processor. With the motor running, add the olive oil and water, mixing until the dough forms a ball (approximately 40 seconds).
- If you prefer hand kneading: In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Gradually add the olive oil and water, stirring until the dough comes together. Knead for about 3 minutes on a floured surface until smooth.
- Roll out the dough to your desired thickness, usually around 1/4 inch for a thinner crust.
- Once rolled out, place the dough onto your prepared pizza pan. Add your sauce, cheese, and toppings, and then bake in the oven until the crust is golden and delicious, typically about 10-15 minutes.

If you have leftover dough, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. To re-use, simply let it come to room temperature before rolling out and baking again.
Tips to Make No Yeast Pizza Dough
- Always measure your flour correctly for the best dough consistency.
