Do you ever just want pizza…and fast?

I do! And I’ve been craving pizza a lot lately. But as you know, I love to make most of my food at home and homemade pizza rarely ever equals fast. You have to mix the dough, let it rise, roll it out, let it sit, pre-bake it, spread out your toppings, bake it some more, until fiiiiiiinally you can eat a slice.  Because homemade pizza is usually so time consuming, most people just opt for take-out or delivery. And I don’t blame them! You get your pizza fix and don’t have to do all the prep or waiting.  But on the other hand, you’re also getting loads more processed ingredients and chemicals than you would if you made it ate home…oh and grease. We all know about the grease!

In fact, I just googled the ingredients in Domino’s Deep Dish Pizza Crust and found this list:

Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin Folic Acid), Water, Malt, Sugar, Whey, Malted Barley Flour, Yeast, Soybean Oil. Zzesty Blend: Butter Flavored Oil (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Soy Lecithin, Artificial And Natural Butter Flavoring, Vitamin A Palmitate And BetaCarotene for Color), Imitation Parmesan Cheese (Water, Modified Food Starch, Casein And Or Caseinate, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Cellulose Powder, Salt, Sodium Phosphates, Stabilizers [Mono And Diglycerides, Guar Gum, Carrageenan], Natural Flavor, Lactic Acid, Sorbic Acid [As A Preservative]), Onion And Garlic, Spices, Salt, Lactic Acid, Butter Flavor, Tomato Powder, Bell Pepper. Dextrose, Citric Acid, Extractive Of Paprika And Lemon And Orange Oil With No Greater Than 2% Calcium Silicate And/Or Soybean Oil Added to Prevent Caking. 

Most people don’t consider the fact that while they’re eating their pizza, they’re also consuming things like Imitation Parmesan Cheese, Butter Flavored Oil, Soy Lecithin, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Diglycerides, Sorbic Acid, Corn Syrup, and Citric Acid.

It kills me! Whatever happened to good, ol’ pizza dough made with flour, yeast, water, salt and some spices? Although I haven’t had Dominos pizza recently, or other major pizza chains, (mainly because they don’t offer vegan pizza), but I don’t know how many slices of pizza I’ve eaten like Dominos in the past. My poor stomach.

Now I don’t want to make you feel bad about the pizza you eat! Our body’s are amazing organisms and seem to handle whatever we through at them, greasy pizza and all. My intent with this post is not to condemn, but to provide an alternative for you that is quick, easy, delicious, and full of good-for-you-whole-ingredients.

Oh, and did I mention fast?

As you read in the post title, this Whole Wheat No-Yeast No-Rise Vegan Pizza Dough is just that: a whole grain dough that doesn’t require any yeast or rising time. You basically just mix together a few ingredients, let the dough sit for 10 minutes and then start baking! I’ll even make pizza for lunch some days because it’s that simple. 

You can top this dough with your favorite pizza sauce and toppings. I love tons of veggies and a sprinkling of nutritional yeast or Vegan Parmesan Cheese right out of the oven. Oh yeah. So good. I also like to roll out my dough really thin, but feel free to keep it thicker, or even fold the edges over for a crust-like vibe. 

I hope you like this simple, easy and delicious pizza dough!

This 5 ingredients, Whole Wheat No-Yeast No-Rise Vegan Pizza Dough is a quick, easy and healthy alternative to take-out pizzas!
Author:
Recipe type: Breads
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • 1⅓ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk, unsweetened (or water)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or unsweetened applesauce)
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients then stir in the oil (or applesauce) and milk (or water) until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry add water 1-2 teaspoons at a time until the dough comes together. Knead the dough with your hands about 10 times and then form it into a ball. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest 10 minutes.
  3. On a non-stick baking sheet roll the dough out into a 12 inch circle or divide the dough in a half for two smaller pizzas.
  4. Poke the dough with a fork and then bake it plain for 8 minutes. Remove the dough from the oven and cover with desired toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake 15-22 minutes more, depending on how thin you rolled your dough.
Notes
*I've tried this dough using both combinations of oil and milk and applesauce and water and liked both!

  1. Oh god this looks so yummy!! I will definitely try this for dinner tonight!! And the toppings you used look so good!! What kind of veggies did you put? Did you cook them before putting them on the pizza? Thank you for this recipe!!!

    Reply

    • I hope you liked it Valentina! I’ve made all kinds of versions but my go to veggies are zucchini, red bell pepper, mushrooms and onion! Sometimes I do a barbecue sauce base that is also amazing:) And you can put the veggies on raw or already sauteed. Both will work! Please let me know how it works out for you!

  2. I’m really wanting to make come calzones, but most recipes I find call for refrigerated pizza dough, which to me has many of the same not-good-for-you things as take-out pizza. How might I adapt this recipe to use for calzones? I love that the recipe is easy, no-knead, vegan and whole-wheat so I want to be able to incorporate it into a calzone.

    Reply

    • Hey Rebecca! So fun you want to make calzones, cause we actually ate some the other day! But I for some reason didn’t use this dough recipe so I’m not sure how it would work as a calzone. I wouldn’t see why you couldn’t use this recipe, but because it’s whole wheat it might be a denser crust. If you try it out let me know if it works! We love it as a pizza crust, but I’d love to know if it’d be a good calzone option.

  5. Hands down the best whole wheat, no yeast, vegan pizza dough out there! This was exactly what I was looking for — healthy and simple (especially for someone who rarely bakes). I only had one cup of whole wheat flour left, so added a little corn meal, bulgur wheat, and white flour for the remaining half cup of flour and it still turned out excellent 🙂 The small amount of bulgur wheat added an extra crunch to the texture, which was tasty, but could have broken a tooth if I added any more to it. I’ve also experimented with different toppings depending on my mood and pantry contents (eggplant, squash, peppers, mushrooms, artichokes, etc.) and usually pair it with a bean-based soup — the perfect meal! Thank you so much for giving me the perfect way to satisfy the occasional pizza craving 🙂

    • This is music to my ears Jana!! Thanks so much for letting me know and for sharing what substitutions worked for you! I’ve been craving pizza actually so was gonna make this dough for he weekend. It’s just too goo!!

  6. I tried and loved this pizza ! I am planning a pizza party and wanna make this for 15 people with some pasta and salad on the side. I wanted to know if I can prebake it just with pizza sauce and vegitables and bake it again with cheese on top when it’s time to serve. Would it work?

    Reply

    • Yay Jasmin! That’s great to hear! Wow, sounds like quite a party. I’ve never made it in advance before, but I would think you could do the initial baking and then have all your toppings reading. Then you would just need to add the toppings and bake the second time. If you added the toppings (sauce and veggies) too early I wonder if the base would get soggy?! Let me know what you end up doing and if it works out!!

  7. You are awesome, girl! : )

    I made this last night and it knocked the whole family’s socks clean off! Thank you for being so kind to post such a wonderful and simple recipe that more than satisfied our need for good pizza. Your pictures are great! Keep up the good work. Luv ya!

  8. This is exactly the pizza dough recipe I was looking for! Do you think it would work substituting olive oil for coconut oil?

    Thanks!

    Reply

    • Hey Claire!! I’m so glad you’re excited about this recipe. Yes, I think you could use both types of oil for sure. Let me know how it turns out!

      Reply

    • That’s a good question Bernadette! I’ve never tried it. I believe pastry flour is lower in protein, so it may not bind as well?!? I’d say go for it though!

      Reply

  11. I just made the pizza base! I swapped the whole wheat flour for whole grain spelt and I used applesauce, soy milk and half the salt as I like to that to minimum when cooking. It was delicious! It was so quick and easy, Its my new go to pizza base. Im going to make several and freeze then so they’ll always be on hand.

    Reply

    • Yay! So glad you liked it and glad your substitutions worked! I often use all applesauce when it’s just me too and I love it:) great idea to freeze them!!

  12. I was just looking for a vegan whole wheat pizza crust so this is perfect timing 🙂

    I totally agree with you about all the preservatives and chemicals in foods that we could be eating every day. I’m definitely a proponent of balance and feel like you shouldn’t deprive yourself of your favorite things, but it’s good to be aware of what is in our food to help us make those healthy choices every day. So many people don’t even realize what is in the foods they eat, so I think that knowledge is our greatest power in helping make the world a healthier place!

  14. YUM! We just had pizza night this past weekend and made 6 pizzas! We love making our own and home! Quick, easy, and like you said you know what’s in it! That said my husband is the crust person and usually whips up a quick crust, he has a couple he makes but I had been challenging him to make one like the squishy neopolitain crust I like at a local pizza shop… still haven’t nailed that down. I don’t make the crust because of the yeast but now looks like I can whip up this one without him! Thank you for sharing!

    • Wowza Sarah! 6 pizzas…that’s so fun! Homemade pizza is seriously the best. This definitely isn’t the same as restaurant or thick-crust pizza dough, but it’s great if you like thinner crusts and need something quick! I hope you can give it a try:)

  16. I love how easy this dough is! Definitely easy enough to make for lunch 😀 and that is a great idea to use applesauce to make it oil-free, I’m going to try that!

  19. I just have to say that your first photo is stellar! I love the action and detail in it….I just had breakfast, but it made me hungry for pizza simply by looking at it. And by no means am I saying that I dislike your other photos on this post, but man, that first one is awesome. This recipe looks absolutely fantastic. I am a big fan of homemade pizza and love that this is a no-rise dough and only has five ingredients! Seriously amazing. Thanks for sharing!
