🛒 Ingredients
Makes 1 medium-thick 12-inch pizza or 2 thin-crust pizzas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm water (not hot)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for brushing)
👨🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
This replaces the need for yeast and gives rise and structure to your dough.
Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients
- Make a well in the center and add warm water and olive oil.
- Stir with a spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently for 2–3 minutes until smooth and pliable.
💡 Tip: If the dough feels sticky, add a sprinkle of flour. If it feels dry, add a teaspoon of water.
Step 3: Roll It Out
- Roll or stretch the dough into your desired shape — round, rectangle, or personal-sized pizzas.
- For thin crust, divide in half and roll out to ⅛ inch thick.
- For thicker crust, roll to about ¼–½ inch thick.
Step 4: Pre-Bake (Optional but Recommended)
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Transfer dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Pre-bake for 5–7 minutes before adding toppings — this prevents a soggy center.
Step 5: Top & Bake
- Add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.
- Return to oven and bake for 8–12 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
🍕 Topping Ideas
- Classic Margherita – Tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil
- Meat Lovers – Pepperoni, sausage, bacon, mozzarella, red sauce
- Veggie Supreme – Mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, olives, spinach
- White Pizza – Garlic butter, ricotta, mozzarella, spinach
- BBQ Chicken – BBQ sauce, shredded chicken, red onion, cilantro
