Quick Pizza Dough: The Secret to an Easy No-Rise Crust
Start tonight’s dinner with this quick pizza dough that goes from bowl to oven in 20 minutes without any rising time.
Ingredients for Quick Pizza Dough
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2¼ tsp) instant yeast
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
Instructions: How to Make Quick Pizza Dough
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add the olive oil and warm water. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead a few times until it comes together into a smooth ball—about 1 minute.
- Press the dough directly into the prepared pan, stretching it to the edges. If it resists, let it rest 2 minutes and try again.
- Top with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings. Keep the layer of toppings light for a crispy base.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, slice, and serve hot.
Tips & Tricks for the Best No-Rise Dough
- Warm Water: Ensure it’s around 110°F so the yeast activates instantly.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Helps the dough come together faster.
- Don’t Overload: Too many toppings weigh down the crust.
- Flavor Boost: Sprinkle garlic powder or Italian herbs on the dough before baking.
