Want to make a simple pizza for the family but you don't have yeast? I make this quick and easy pizza dough whenever I want something a little more traditional than Lazy Girl Tortilla Pizza & when I don't mind the carbs! I prefer using 2 cups of whole wheat flour, but feel free to go all out & use only all purpose flour if that's what you have & you're dying to try this recipe!
1 cup all purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup water
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp red pepper flakes
TIP: You may substitute the above seasonings with a simple tablespoon of dried "Italian Seasonings" or whatever seasonings you prefer!
Combine all dry ingredients & then add oil & water. Mix with a spoon until your dough begins to form. If dough is stiff, slowly add more water as needed to absorb all of the dry ingredients. Knead dough with fingers for a few minutes. Dough should remain soft & not sticky.
TIP: If dough becomes remains sticky after kneading, sprinkle small spoonfuls of flour & continue to knead.
I do not own a pizza dish or pan (yet), so I use what I have! This time around I spread a little olive oil on a large rectangular cookie sheet, sat my dough ball in the middle of it & slowly pressed my dough out with my hands to meet all of the edges of the cookie sheet.
I then baked at 400 in oven for 15mins.
After this step you will now be ready to top your pizza with your favorite sauce, cheese, & toppings! Finish baking pizza in oven until cheese is melted once topped. (about 15 min's)
