No-Yeast Pizza Dough

The kids want pizza, you're running low on cash and you're out of yeast to make the pizza dough. This great dough is super fast, no rising time and easy as a pizza pie! The dough is very similar to a tea biscuit tasting crust when finished.

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

2/3 cup milk

6 Tbsp oil

Mix together and spread on a cookie sheet or pizza pan.

Preheat oven: to 425 degrees

Top with sauce, toppings and cheese. Bake for about 20 minutes, watching for a golden crust on the bottom of the pizza.



Topping Suggestions:

Top with pizza sauce (spaghetti sauce works too!)

Herbs, spices and your favourite pizza toppings!


* Use up some left over chicken cut into pieces
* Frozen or leftover: meatballs cut in quarters (heat through easier).
* Leftover hamburger patties cut or crumbled on the pizza.
* Sliced bologna, pepperoni, ham or other deli meats cut up into bite sized pieces.
* Pineapple (drained) and chopped
* Olives (sliced/drained)
* Tomato slices
* Cooked broccoli
* Onions, sliced/diced
* Green peppers, red peppers and other sweet bell peppers; sliced or cubed
* Hot pepper rings
* Mushrooms (canned or sliced, fresh)
* Feta cheese, drained/crumbled (a personal favourite!)
* Spinach (rinsed and ripped)

Top it off with cheese!

Easy crowd pleaser, saves time and money and promotes team work in the kitchen with children having input into toppings and assisting! Remember what ingredients you used, you'll want to name your creation!
