Jamie Oliver Pizza Dough Without Yeast
This is a simplified pizza dough recipe that doesn’t require yeast, proofing, or rising time. Instead, baking powder acts as the leavening agent, creating a soft and slightly crispy pizza base that’s ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients
Scale
- 350g self-raising flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 200ml water
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the olive oil and water. Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if it’s too dry, add a splash of water.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough into 2 portions (for smaller pizzas) or keep it whole for one large pizza. Roll out the dough into a thin, round or rectangular shape, depending on your preference, and transfer it to a lightly oiled baking tray or pizza stone.
- Add Toppings: Spread your favorite pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Top with cheese, vegetables, meats, or herbs of your choice.
- Bake the Pizza: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F. Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the toppings are cooked to perfection.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the pizza from the oven, slice it up, and serve hot.
