    2-Ingredient Pizza Dough Recipe - no yeast and no rising time make this pizza recipe the easiest ever. Top with your favorite toppings, bake and enjoy in under 30 minutes!

    This recipe makes 2 large pizzas but you can easily divide it and make just one. I use a 12" pizza pan and I am able to roll out the dough to easily fit it in.

    No yeast pizza slices.

    After the success of the 2-ingredient dough that can be used to make homemade flatbread (a delicious one at that!), I was excited to test it as a pizza dough. I make homemade pizza using my Hubby's recipe every Friday. I know my pizza dough and can whip it up in my sleep. I was very interested to see how this recipe would act as a pizza crust. I am so glad I did! This is the fastest pizza dough recipe ever! It's delicious topped simple pizza sauce, freshly grated cheese, pepperoni and whatever toppings we like.

    If you are looking for a no-yeast, no-rising time pizza dough, you will LOVE this recipe! It is easy, and quick so you can have hot, cheesy pizza on the table under 30 minutes.

    Instructions:

    The 2-ingredient dough calls for self-rising flour (it's very easy to make a homemade version) and Greek yogurt. I use natural sour cream as it is cheaper and the consistency is the same.

    Instructions:

    • Simply mix both ingredients in a bowl until they form a dough. You may have to use your hands to help the ingredients come together.
    • Next, let the dough rest for 20 minutes, while you preheat the oven and get the pizza toppings ready.

    Can I make it ahead of time?

    This dough can be prebaked and stored to use later. Simply bake the dough in pan without any sauce and toppings and store in a large ziploc bag up to a week. Since this dough contains sour cream, it is best to keep it in the fridge.

    No yeast needed

    You can make fantastic pizza dough without yeast. Keep it mind, it will taste different. Yeast dough, used for bread, rolls and pizza, has a sourdough taste. This 2-ingredient pizza dough will taste like a biscuit crust. It's perfect for busy weeknights when everyone is craving pizza, OR when you don't want to deal with yeast and rising time.

    Since there is no yeast in this dough, there needs to be another ingredient that will make it rise during baking. You have two options: buy self-rising flour and mix it with natural sour cream of Greek yogurt OR make the needed amount of self-rising flour with all-purpose flour and baking powder and then use it in the recipe. The second option is what I do since I don't always have self-rising flour on hand. Mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 and 1/4 teaspoons of baking powder for each cup of self-rising flour needed in the recipe.

    no-yeast pizza dough in mixing bowl

    Pizza dough made with yeast has a different consistency. It is very stretchy after the rising time and you can form a small ball of the dough into a large thin crust pizza. My method is to place the pizza dough ball in the center of lightly oiled pizza pan and press the dough towards the edges, rotating the pan in the same time. When you are dealing with a 2-ingredient yeast-free pizza dough, it has a different consistency. It's almost like a biscuit dough. The best and easiest way to form it, is to use a rolling pin and roll the dough out on a sheet of parchment paper.

    pizza dough with cheese, pepperoni and olives

    Top this pizza dough with your favorite toppings, like the classic pepperoni and cheese with the addition of black olives. We also love supreme style pizza with onion, peppers and sausage or white mushroom pizza. If you try this recipe, don't forget to snap a picture and share it on Instagram!

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 3 cups all-purpose flour see note if using self-rising flour
    • 3.75 tsp baking powder
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1.5 cups natural sour cream or Greek yogurt

    Instructions
     

    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
    • Add natural sour cream and stir with a wooden spoon.
    • Form the dough into a ball. Place on a floured surface. Let rest for 20 minutes.
    • Next, form the dough into a log and slice in half. Place each half on a sheet of parchment paper and roll out with lightly floured rolling pin. You can place it on a 12" pizza pan to use as a guide.
    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    • Spread a layer of pizza sauce over the dough, add shredded cheese, pepperoni, sliced olives, diced onions, peppers, cooked bacon or sausage or whatever toppings you like.
    • Bake pizza in preheated oven for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted. Cool slightly before slicing.

    Notes

    If using self-rising flour, skip the baking powder and salt since the flour already has it. Use 3 cups of self-rising flour.
    This recipe makes 2 12" pizzas but can easily be divided to make one pizza. Use 1,5 cups of flour and 3/4 cup of sour cream.
    This dough can also be prebaked and stored to use later. Simply bake the dough in pan without any sauce and toppings and store in a large ziploc bag up to a week. Since this dough contains sour cream, it is best to keep it in the fridge.

      add a little salt to the self rising flour. It needed a little flavor. I will make again when I don't have yeast or pizza dough in the freezer. Thank you.

      I made it and it was good, but different. Nice and crispy because I left it in the oven for 2 extra minutes.

      I made this pizza crust using self-rising flour & yogurt. I think it's my favorite.
      Super easy. I like a crispy crust so this was it.

      Really Yummy and used nonfat Greek yogurt with self rising flour. I did brush the dough with olive oil and turned heat to 425 degrees. I thought the pizza was even better the next day reheated in the air fryer. I made two pizzas out of the 3 cup flour recipe. One pizza I made with pesto sauce, whole milk mozzarella, grilled chicken, artichoke, spinach and garlic . The other pizza was red sauce, cheese, mushroom, onion, Parmesan, and Calabrese salami. Husband loved it and said we didn’t need to go out to pay big bucks for gourmet pizza.

          I knew about the yogart, I can't get any. I can get sour cream at times, I will give it a go. I am going to try a sour dough starter or a kefir with milk (canned). I live in Alaska, Our food is dependent on barges and ferries, I am always looking for work arounds.

      Great recipe, I used buttermilk because I didn’t have yoghurt or sour cream. It worked well - I didn’t find it to be sticky at all, although I used flour for lots of dusting. Thanks!

      I've got a picky eater who was begging for pizza today, one of the few things he will eat, but I didn't have any in the freezer. I was also running low on ingredients so I found this recipe, thank goodness! Just made the dough, it's quite sticky, but I'm looking forward to getting it in the oven. Just hope the picky kid will eat it!

      No problem if don't mind working with absolutely the worst dough. It sticks to everything. I make traditional pizza crust and bread all the time and can't get this dough to cooperate. The 2 times that I made this 2 ingredient dough is has been a fiasco. The final time it eventually ended up in the garbage after it was stuck everywhere. Never Again!

        Hi Jake! I am sorry you had trouble with this recipe. It sounds like the yogurt was too runny. What kind did you use? I only recommend natural sour cream or Greek yogurt.

      I have made this pizza three times now, and my family loved it each time. One time I made it with sour cream, and two times I made it with Greek Yogurt. Both were delicious, and it was fun letting the family choose their toppings. I use a store-bought marinara, mozzarella cheese, toppings, and garlic powder. This is my new go to when I want pizza without the expense of dining out, but I also want it to be super yummy but not time-consuming!

        I'm sorry for asking this but I'm a novice when it comes to baking, but does this need spray on the pizza pan or something, so it doesn't stick
