Quick No Yeast Pizza Dough

Quick No Yeast Pizza Dough

This is another easy to make recipe which I really recommend trying - this quick pizza dough was such a surprise, despite the fact that I was very skeptical in the beginning - and now it's been 6 months since I've been using no other dough for the pizza. I am willing to accept any criticism claiming that this is not the real Italian yeast pizza dough but I can assure you it's even better than that. After all, it is the result that matters and the composition here is absolutely brilliant - the dough will be quite fluffly, very tender and tasty.

The connoisseurs will say that its texture is very similar to the one of the authentic pizza dough, but what I can only tell you is that it is amazing and addictive :) So, save this recipe to enjoy some delicious pizza together with your family and I'm sure that the second time, you will want to make more because it's simply mouth-watering.

And yes, it is the perfect match for the Marinara sauce for pizza and pasta.

Then turn dough onto the work surface and cut in 2-3 parts, depending on the size of the baking sheet. 

I usually make 2 pizzas 28-30 cm in diameter, but 3 smaller ones, 26 cm, is also possible.

I don’t know what’s up with the measurements but the flour is way off. Made according to those measures,it was a dough soup, not a dough! It required 3X that amount of flour. Also, nowhere was salt mentioned in the instructions.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear that the dough didn't turn out as expected. You are absolutely right; the quality and type of flour can significantly impact the amount needed in recipes. Different brands and even the age of the flour can affect its absorption capacity.

I've taken your feedback to heart and added the info about salt, and a note to the recipe to highlight the potential need for adjusting the flour quantity based on the dough's consistency and the specific type of flour used. Ensuring our recipes are clear and adaptable is important to us, and we appreciate your input in helping us improve.
