gandpsmommy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I was going to make homemade pizza for dinner tonight. I have sauce, cheese, mushrooms, bacon, and pepperoni. But then I discovered that I don't have any yeast to make the crust. Am I stuck or is there a way to make good pizza crust without yeast?

I actually started making my own dough with yeast over the summer, and it was so much easier than I would have guessed. I always thought that it would be some huge, complicated process, but it wasn't. And my family loves it. I just wasn't good at monitoring how many yeast packets I had left in the pantry. Thanks, though, for the idea. I had a friend who used frozen bread dough, thawed in the refrigerator, and it tasted really good. I bet it would be similar to canned dough.

In The Great White North Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I have forgotten the yeast a few times. It works just as well, especially if you're making thin crust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will not taste exactly the same, or have the same consistency of course, but you can use any biscuit dough as a pizza base. It is a good substitute for yeast dough.

It is a good substitute for yeast dough. I agree, biscuit dough just uses baking powder and soda, no yeast; it will serve the purpose. That said, I think pizza dough is pretty easy and I'm not much of a baker. Alton Brown's Pizza Dough Recipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I don't have time at the moment, but I think my old Betty Crocker cookbook recipe has baking powder and not yeast..I will look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Stir and Roll PIzza by Betty Crocker 2 cups flour 2tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 2/3 cup milk 1/4 cup oil 2 tbls oil Heat oven to 425. Measure dry ingredients, plus milk and 1/4 cup oil into bowl Stir until mixture leaves the side of the bowl. Gather into a ball. Knead ball in the bowl about 10 times. Divide dough in half. roll into 13 inch circle. turn up edges and pinch. Brush each circle with the rmaining 2 tbls oil. layer toppings. Bake 20 to 25 mins. Note: Over the years that worked with this dough, I usually prebaked the crust about 10 minutes before I added the toppings for a crispier crust.
