No fuss five minute pizza dough just requires a food processor to make excellent crispy crusted dough, with a soft center! Perfect for family pizza night!

Dish Count :: 1 food processor

I wish I had the time, and the patience, to wait four days for a perfect pizza dough to sit on my counter, develop the perfect flavor, with the perfect flour, and the perfect Italian man who comes with it to show me how to toss the perfect pizza, like Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze in Ghost… except with pizza, because I don’t do pottery. But that isn’t happening anytime soon. Unfortunately.

So we found the best and fastest way to get an easy pizza dough out of the food processor! Taking a page out of Jamie Oliver’s playbook, we gathered the ingredients, which I’m sure you all have at home, our food processor, and got to work. This pizza dough can be made used to make skillet pizza, pan pizza, or straight onto a pizza stone in your oven.

A few simple ingredients and a food processor is all you need for this no fuss five minute pizza dough. I’m not kidding. It couldn’t be easier. With this recipe you do not need to wait two hours of more for the pizza dough to rise. In fact, it doesn’t require any rise time at all!

There is never not a day that a slice of melted cheese on carbs doesn’t sound good. I gathered up what we had in the kitchen to mix and match ingredients for toppings, busted out our cast iron skillets and got down with thinly sliced shallots, pizza sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, and balsamic glaze, and freshly minced garlic (because why not?!).

• All Purpose Flour
• Salt

• Cold Water

    • Garlic Powder
    • Onion Powder

How to make No-Rise Homemade Pizza Dough

You can’t beat a pizza dough that only requires four steps. This recipe is unique and does not use active dry yeast for this easy pizza crust recipe. And it also doesn’t require a stand mixer to knead the dough. It’s all made in a food processor!

In the food processor bowl, place all the dry ingredients. Blend the dry ingredients together.

Then with the food processor running, add in the oil and water, blending until the dough comes together.

Allow the dough to rest for a few minutes to relax before you roll it out and top it. This will allow any gluten formed to relax and make the dough easier to roll. 

Once it is rolled out on a floured surface, you can top it with your chosen ingredients. Traditional pizza parlors will use a cornmeal on the bottom, so use what you think is best to keep it from getting too sticky on the bottom and not rolling it properly. 

Easy to find favorite toppings

All the usual suspects for your kids’ favorite pizza toppings! Well, the feta is for me.

• Pepperoni
• Sausage
• Onions
• Mushrooms
• Pineapple
• Fresh Tomato
• Shallots
• Basil
• Shredded Mozzarella
• Feta Cheese

This easy pizza dough recipe makes enough for two personal pan sized pizzas, or one giant one. You can make it, then freeze it into individual portions for whenever you need! Because no one should ever be left wanting a pizza! Ask the pregnant lady, when you want pizza, you NEED pizza.

Because this uses all purpose flour, and not a typical pizza flour that has different ratios of proteins, it isn’t truly authentic, but sometimes that’s okay too. Even I can’t handle one more specific type of specialty flour that I will only use every six months. It’s just not practical. The get some added flavor, I had on hand some King Arthur Flour Pizza Dough flavor powder, which is a mix of powdered parmesan, powdered onion, garlic and salt, with a few extra things sprinkled in. If you don’t want to order it online, just add a few half teaspoons of these ingredients individually. Or just make it “as-is” and you still won’t be sorry!

Frequently Asked Questions – 

Will this pizza dough rise without yeast?

You’re right, it doesn’t have any yeast! This uses baking powder as a leavener in lieu of a fermented and long rising pizza dough with yeast. So it’s almost more of a thin crust or flatbread style dough than a true Napoleon style. 

Can this dough be used for a grill?

I don’t see why not? But I haven’t tried it. So if you do, please let me know how it turns out!
