Easy Caprese No Yeast Pizza Dough, a simple, easy and so delicious Pizza. No yeast makes it the perfect weeknight meal. Fresh Tomatoes, Basil and Mozzarella make it yummy and healthy.

No Yeast Pizza Dough

You know the saying “an apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”, well I have to say in a lot of cases it is right on the mark. My husband and I have started our first year garden of summer vegetables after a not so bad first year of a fall/winter veggies garden.

I have been hinting for years about starting our own garden, we always had an excuse, no time, too much work and the best of all with all the veggies my mother-in-law plants she could feed half the town. So now excuses aside we are on our way.

And what better way to use up some of the garden’s best veggies then with a Pizza with no yeast added! With only five ingredients flour, baking powder, salt, olive oil and water you will be well on your way to pizza night any day of the week!

How to make a Pizza dough without yeast

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Make a well in the middle and add the olive oil and some of the water to start, stir together with a fork then add remaining the water.
Move to a lightly floured flat surface, knead for approximately 2 or 3 minutes and form into a smooth dough ball, cover with a bowl and let sit for 15 minutes.
Place the dough on lightly greased pizza pan or cookie sheet and with your fingers form into desired shape (circle, oval or square) to cover the bottom of the pan.
Bake for approximately 13- 15 minutes or until golden.

I decided to bake the crust and then top it with a Caprese topping. Which is sliced fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese and fresh basil.

If you prefer you can make a traditional pizza and top the raw dough with a simple tomato sauce or what we prefer are about 10-15 grape or cherry tomatoes sliced in half then tossed with 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, fresh basil and a sprinkle of oregano.

Of course why not add a couple of your favourite additions on top and don’t forget to finish it off with shredded firm mozzarella.

Can the dough be made in a mixer?

I usually make this no yeast dough by hand but it certainly can be made in a mixer with the dough hook attachment.
