Lately I’ve been craving pizza. All the time. So I dragged my sister into it and we made some pizza from scratch, even the dough. I love bread, I love carbs, I love cheese, I hate yeast. So I found a yeast-less pizza dough recipe! And it goes something like this:
Yeast-less pizza dough:
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp oil
- 3/4 to 1 cup water
For the toppings:
- Tomato sauce
- Dried oregano
- 1/2 cup Green olives
- 3 Mushrooms
- 2 Plum tomatoes
- 1/2 fresh basil – chopped (I should have added more)
- Bocconcini cheese – sliced
Preperation:
- Mix dry ingredients. add 3/4 cup water and oil. Stir until it forms a ball. – If dough is stiff, add more water.
- The dough will be soft, not sticky. Knead on a floured surface for 3-4 minutes.
- Spread dough on a pizza pan. Add toppings and bake at 400°F for 15-25 minutes.
The dough came out really great and not thin at all! I would add a little more salt next time and maybe some Italian herbs to make it more tasty.

I either am frightened of yeast or have a healthy respect for it. Either way, I generally avoid any recipe that calls for yeast. Baking powder on the other hand, gives me no trouble at all. I love how your recipe doesn’t require any meditation time for the dough to rise etc.
I feel the same. Yeast and I don’t get along, so I avoid it. I haved learned from bitter (flat bread that shouldn’t be flat) experience that I *should* avoid yeast. At least for now. And not waiting for dough to rise is also pretty awesome. 🙂 If you try this recipe be sure to let me know, I’d love to know if you liked it as much as I do.
This looks so good…we love green olives on our pizza! It is on our menu for this weekend!
Me too! I could just have cheese and green olives even, they are so good on pizza! I hope you and your family like it! 🙂
Though I like working with yeast, I am wanting to give this a try. Looks great!
What’s your secret? Lol! I always mess up when it comes to yeast, it’s like I have some kind of mental block.
I’m going to make this for pizza night tomorrow. My husband is a vegetarian and I usually make a margarita, but I was looking for something with less cheese and more veggies this week. Thanks!
That’s great! I hope he likes it! 🙂
I baked the dough for 5 minutes with some garlic salt and fresh parmesan before adding the other ingredients, and covered it with nearly a cup of fresh basil (as you mentioned you would have seasoned it more). I liked it and my husband was crazy about it. 🙂
If not making a margarita pizza I usually add the same combination of ingredients (spinach, tomatoes, red onion, artichoke hears, and black olives) so it was nice to try something different. Thanks for the idea!
That sounds absolutely amazing! I will have to try that next time I make it, I love fresh basil!
This was delish!! The only thing I added was some garlic p
Oops … Garlic powder.
I wanted to know if anyone has tried freezing this dough ???
Mmm I bet garlic powder would be great in that. I will have to try that myself. I haven’t tried to freeze it, but maybe someone else can give their input 🙂
