Yeast-Free Vegan Pizza Dough #veganpizzaparty

Recipe for a yeast-free vegan Pizza Dough from scratch made out of only 5 simple ingredients! No yeast = no wait time = spontaneous pizza! I’ve included my favorite topping ideas below!

I’ve been wanting to try a yeast-free vegan pizza dough for a long time now and I finally did it! It’s actually super easy and I love that you can skip the rising phase, which you need for traditional pizza doughs. Because no yeast = no rise. Yeah! Helloooo spontaneous pizza!

The Ingredients for Yeast-Free Vegan Pizza Dough

You’ll only need 5 basic ingredients for this simple pizza dough: 

• all-purpose flour (or make it healthier by mixing spelt flour and all-purpose flour)
• baking powder
• salt
• olive oil
• water

Sounds easy, right? Well, it is! For super crispy edges, brush olive oil on the crust before baking. I like to use leftover oil from marinated artichokes for this one because it adds more flavoring.

How to make pizza crust without yeast

In the traditional pizza dough, fresh or dried yeast is used for bubbly crusts. But yeast takes at least one hour (even more if the room temperature is cooler) to rise properly and therefore a bit of planning is needed. If you want to skip that, you can choose to make a pizza crust without yeast. Instead of the yeast, we’re using baking powder to add a bit of fluffiness to the crust.

The Toppings

I’ve put sautéed mushrooms, vegan mozzarella, fresh herbs, arugula and a simple tomato sauce on my pizza, but you can use this basic yeast-free pizza dough recipe for any pizza you’d like!

Ingredients

 

US CustomaryMetric

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• ▢ 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1 teaspoon olive oil
• ▢ 2/3 cup lukewarm water

Instructions

 

• Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
• Add the olive oil and water (little by little) and knead until a smooth dough forms. You might not need all the water or add a bit more. The dough should be non-sticky. If it turns out too sticky, add a bit more flour. You can either knead it by hand or let it knead in a kitchen machine.

Notes

The dough does not have to rest, because there’s no yeast in it. Divide it into two pieces, roll it out and top it with your favorite ingredients.
Depending on the toppings on your pizza, bake it at 480°F/250°C for approximately 8-15 minutes. If you brush the crust with olive oil, it gets super crispy :)
