YEAST-FREE PIZZA DOUGH 
Making pizza dough the traditional way using yeast takes some planning so the dough can rise. This is not a traditional pizza crust, but if you're looking for a quick fix, this is it!

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup milk
6 tbsp. olive oil

Preheat oven to 425°F.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and stir well until the dough begins to form a ball and pull away from sides of bowl.

Knead dough by hand, while still in bowl, until smooth; then form a ball.

Press dough into an oiled baking sheet or pizza pan using your fingertips, leaving a thicker edge to hold fillings in.

Sprinkle with favorite toppings (sauce flavored with garlic, basil and oregano, Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, mushrooms, anchovies, black olives, onions, peppers, etc.).

Bake at 425°F for about 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and edges are golden brown.

I use a mixture of spelt, buckwheat, flax seed and chia seed instead turns out great and my kids love it.

This was a very quick and easy recipe to make. I am only twelve in middle school and I can make it and it tastes great!

Needs shortening.

As others have pointed out, this is a variation on biscuit recipes meant to be flat and dense. It works to hold the toppings and tastes good, but is also a bit of a flour gut-bomb you'll need a beverage with. It's not the airy, crispy crust of risen pizza dough.

My Variation;

-- Cut 2 tbsp (1/8 c.) shortening into flour. Add baking powder, salt and preferred seasonings. Add 3/4 c. milk and 1/4 c. (4 tbsp.) oil of choice. Mix and need in bowl.
-- Gravity and hand stretch dough into 10-inch disk. Place onto very well-oiled cookie sheet and press to edges. Bake for 5 minutes bare at 425°F, then remove. Add toppings of choice and bake another 20 minutes until done.

------------------------------------------

I use 12 oz. store-bought pizza sauce (1/2 small jar) as the partially cooked dough readily absorbed it while spreading.

The Islander:

-- Cube one medium chicken breast (raw) and 1/2 tin Spam. Saute in abundant oil until chicken is brown and Spam very crispy. Set aside.
-- After dough is out and sauced add 4 slices American cheese folded into 16 triangle quarters. Add chicken/Spam, then chopped tomato and/or pineapple or mango, diced onion and 2 cups shredded Colby Jack or mild Cheddar.

I made this with spelt flour and it was the best base I'd ever made. Thank you so much!

I was very surprised by the pizza crust! The crust rose very well and had a soft inside. For not containing yeast this crust was extraordinary! I will definitely recommend this to friends.

It was a quick and good recipe the best one I've found so far without turning into mush.

I just made this I am eating it while I write this,it's great, does bake up like a biscuit but very good though, I used garlic salt like I saw others say they did and you can really taste it, gives it a great flavor, I recommend this to anyone who wants a quick fun way to have pizza at home, watch your time I made it thick and it didn't take the 30 minutes it says if you make it thin it will probably take even less time.

This recipe was great. I used all organic ingredients equal portions of quinoa flour, millet flour, einkorn flour, and oat flour, I added parsley flakes, sweet basil flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and a smidgen of dried thyme to the dough and sauce, with imported Italian asagio, aged local raw goat, and imported mozzarella cheese, with fresh diced tomatoes, yellow bell peppers, and yellow onion. I also used a pizza stone. It was the best pizza I ever had, but the slices crumbled a bit when handled. Next time I will preheat my pizza stone in the oven and cook the dough by itself for 5 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings and see if that makes the pizza crust more durable. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Absolutely brilliant recipe! I used gluten free flour, and sunflower oil instead of olive oil and it worked a treat! I only made half the amount, used half of the dough for a quick pizza for my 5 year old son (he loved it), and used the other half to make garlic bread, really tasty! I'll definitely be using this recipe again! :)

 Pizza Lover (Ontario) says:
Nice recipe, but need to be careful not to overcook or it will be dry and crispy like an overcooked biscuit.

 Angela (Kentucky) says:
I made this crust on a large cookie sheet spread really thin, pre-baked for 10 minutes then added homemade sauce, sausage, peppers and onions on one half. On the other just sauce and cheese. Last 3 minutes I broiled it for a nice crunch. The peppers, onions and crust was so yummy, will be using this over and over. Great recipe. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, god bless!

It is soo easy to make I'm 11 and I made it, I didn't have any yeast, so this worked out great for me except I only used 5 tsp of olive oil and substitute the baking power with baking soda

I use Dinkel (Speelt) flour, add garlic salt and cayenne pepper to the dry ingredients or rub them on the top of the dough when it's rolled out. (Medicinal/flavour-enhancing additions).

The same dough makes excellent pitta breads.

I use this easy recipe in a weekly basis as my son needs a lot of food - he's a vegetarian body builder- this gives him a full stomach without bloating and free from yeast (his latest dietary stipulation).

You could probably buy prepared bases more cheaply, but not as strappingly healthy and fun as making your own. :)

I was out of yeast so I looked up "no-yeast pizza dough" and found this. I had my doubts about it at the start, but the pizza was AMAZING! Wow!I will use this recipe again!(I used the method mentioned in the comments... baked the crust for 8 minutes by itself, then added all the toppings, baked it for approximately 15 more until the cheese was done). Some years ago I had a restaurant. I'd have served this pizza there for sure! It's different, it's delicious, and it really works.
