How to make a no yeast pizza dough

If you do any baking, you probably know that most traditional bread and pizza dough recipes call for yeast. This is because yeast makes them rise and become soft on the inside.

There are some types of yeast that contain gluten, so it’s best not to use it if you can. Thankfully, there’s no need to use yeast in this recipe because there are some gluten-free products that can be used to help dough rise. One of those products is xanthan gum.

Xanthan gum is a gluten free, keto, and Paleo food additive that can thicken and stabilize things like baked goods, sauces, and desserts. But it’s also a fantastic leavening agent! Plus, it may even help to lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels!

For my no yeast pizza dough, I used Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Flour and their xanthan gum to help the gluten free flour rise and soften when baked!

Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour is a versatile gluten free flour blend. Because their flour has no xanthan gum or guar gum,we just have to add it in separately. Easy peasy!

How to make the pizza crust (VIDEO)

Be sure to watch our VIDEO TUTORIAL to see how easy the crust is to make. But here are the step by step instructions.

1. Preheat oven and mix the dough. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl. You want to create a soft, sticky dough, so start by adding ⅔ cup of warm water. If the dough is too dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more at a time until the consistency is where you need it to be.

2. Form the dough into a ball.Place the dough out onto a floured surface and form into a smooth ball. Since this is a gluten free flour, you won’t need to knead it much due to lack of gluten protein.

3. Roll the dough out into a 10-inch circle. You may need to pick up the dough a few times and turn it to form the circle. If the dough begins to stick to the rolling pin or the counter, just dust it with a tiny bit of the gluten free flour.

4. Pan and bake the no yeast pizza dough. Place the dough into a greased 10-inch cast iron or pizza pan. Pat it out to the edges with your fingers. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on top. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Don’t want to make the pizza right away? No problem! The pizza dough is freezable! Freeze the dough in a ball shape, wrapped in wax paper. Once ready to use, thaw out in fridge overnight. EASY!

5. Add toppings and finish baking. After 10 minutes, you’ll remove the pan of crust from the oven, add your desired toppings, and pop it back in the oven to bake for another 8 to 10 minutes.
