🍕 5-Minute Magic Pizza Dough (No Yeast Needed!)

This magic no-yeast pizza dough is soft, crisp-edged, and ready to hit the oven in just 5 minutes! Whether you’re out of yeast or simply short on time, this recipe is your go-to for homemade pizza in a flash. No rising time, no waiting — just mix, roll, top, and bake.

🧾 Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 2½ cups (355g / 12.5 oz) all-purpose flour

• 3 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp salt

• ¾ cup + 2 tbsp (187g / 7 oz) water (approximately)

• 1 tbsp olive oil

For Topping:

• 5-minute pizza sauce

• Mozzarella cheese, grated

• Pepperoni slices

• Fresh oregano or herbs of your choice

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). A hot oven is key to a crisp crust!

2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

• Flour

• Baking powder

• Salt

Set aside.

3️⃣ Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a jug or small bowl, stir together:

• Water

• Olive oil

4️⃣ Form the Dough

• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

• Slowly pour in the wet mixture a little at a time, mixing as you go.

• You may not need all the liquid—add just enough until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms.

✋ Tip: If the dough feels dry, add a splash of water. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour.

5️⃣ Knead It (Briefly!)

Using your hands, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it comes together and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.

No need to rest the dough — no yeast means no waiting!

6️⃣ Roll & Shape

Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin.

• Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle for one large pizza, or

• Divide into 2–4 portions for personal-sized pizzas.

Roll slightly thicker than you would with yeast dough, as it won’t puff up as much in the oven.

7️⃣ Top It

Transfer the rolled dough to a non-stick pizza tray or lined baking sheet.
Add your favorite toppings:

• Spread with pizza sauce

• Generously sprinkle with mozzarella

• Add pepperoni and fresh herbs

8️⃣ Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–17 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

🍕 Pro Tips

• No pizza sauce? Try marinara, pesto, or even garlic butter.

• Cheese options: Mozzarella is classic, but mix it up with provolone, cheddar, or goat cheese.

• Make ahead: Wrap the dough tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days, or freeze for later use.

• Add-ins: Mix in garlic powder, dried oregano, or chili flakes into the dough for extra flavor.

🧊 Storage

• Leftovers: Store baked pizza slices in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a hot oven or skillet.

• Dough: Wrap and refrigerate unbaked dough for 1–2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
