A quick and easy no rise pizza dough recipe, it makes enough dough for 3 thin crust pizzas in about 10 minutes.
Pizza is one dinner our whole family can agree on. If it’s the same at your house, did you know pizza can be made at home faster than you can have it delivered?
With this quick and easy no rise pizza dough recipe, you can have enough dough for 3 thin crust pizzas in about 10 minutes.
Making homemade pizza doesn’t have to be hard or time-consuming. Most of the pizza dough recipes call for the dough to rise before shaping it. It can take 30-45 minutes for the dough to rise.
Which is fine if you think ahead and start it early enough. But if you don’t have the time to wait for the pizza dough to rise, this no rise pizza dough recipe is perfect.
Since we eat pizza or some form of pizza at least twice a month, I use this no rise pizza dough recipe all the time. In about 30 minutes I can make three thin crust pizzas from scratch for our family.
If you don’t need three pizzas you can divide the dough, use what you need and freeze the rest for a later meal. I’ve tried it a few times and it’s worked well each time, just be sure to take the dough out of the freezer to thaw well before you need it.

Tips for Making No Rise Pizza Dough
✳︎ Start with warm water to proof the yeast. Not hot though as that will kill the yeast.
✳︎ Add enough flour to make a nice dough that isn’t dry.
✳︎ Knead until smooth, usually this takes about 5 minutes and builds up the gluten needed for the structure of the dough.
✳︎ Divide and use for pizza, pizza pockets, stromboli, anything that calls for pizza dough.

This is great, but there are no instructions for baking. How hot the oven should be or how long it should bake
Sorry about that Cynthia. Here’s the instructions. Make your pizza, place it on a cookie sheet or pizza pan or stone and bake at 500 degrees for about 10 minutes. Be sure to check it after 7-8 to make sure it’s not cooking too fast.
Thank you Shelly! BTW. I made the recipe last night. It was by far, the best pizza crust I have ever made. Wonderful recipe that I will continue to use!
Cynthia, so glad you liked it. We use it all the time and very rarely eat pizza out anymore. Have a great week!
Do you cook the crust before adding the topping or add the topping then bake at 500 for ten minutes?
Serena, I make the pizza with toppings and then bake at 500 degrees for 10 minutes. No pre-cooking of the crust needed.
Thank You and I’m looking forward to trying the recipe! I was just wondering how long it takes for “Let sit and proof. Bubbles should form on the top.” 5 minutes, 10 or more?
Carl, I let it proof about 5 mins while I’m getting the rest of the ingredients into the bowl.
Are you using plain flour? Can you use Fleischmann’s RapidRise Instant Yeast in the pizza crust recipe?
Deborah, I use all purpose flour in this recipe and I think the rapid rise yeast should work out well. I use a different brand but I think it should work fine.
Hands down, this is a great dough, made it last night and again 2day. Love it, love it….i cut back the salt just a tad…worked up wonderful, has a great chew, and it browned nicely giving it a lovely patina. Thanks 4 the recipe!
Wanda, so glad you liked the recipe. We had pizza tonight too, homemade pizza is so good.
Love this! It’s our go to crust recipe! We hadn’t made it in a while but tonight when tempted to order out even though we are cutting down on doing so, my hubby suggested making pizza instead. Sitting at the table eating before the local pizza place would even be anywhere near ready for us to pick up!
Jeanna, thanks for sharing. You made my day!
Great! A very easy pizza crust to make for a quick dinner. Not buying pizza crust mix anymore!!
Tiffany, I’m so glad you liked the recipe.
so good and easy. Due to various diet restrictions, frozen pizza night ends up being a 30+ dollar affair…I was able to make 2 of the 3 we need for FAR less expensive. I’ll be making the pizza sauce seasoning mix to keep on hand, so it will be even easier and cheaper. Thank you so much. So fast and easy…my daughter was shocked it was already done!
Sara, so glad you liked the recipe.
Can you store left over dough in the fridge?
Jessica, it would be better to store it in the freezer. I hope that helps.
