Pizza Dough without Yeast

This easy Pizza Dough without Yeast is quick and super simple.  It is slightly lighter and fluffier than normal pizza dough with great flavor.

There is no rise time making this much faster than yeast dough, ready to eat in just 15 minutes. This is a single serving recipe but it can easily be doubled.

What can I use instead of yeast in pizza dough?

The correct combination of baking powder with flour and salt is a great substitution for yeast in pizza dough. It will cause the dough to rise in the oven and have a similar texture to a dough with yeast.

When we lived in Indiana, there was a pizza place that used this kind of dough, and I have a copycat recipe for their pizza. The recipe I have uses regular flour and it turns out really good, and it is so easy!
