Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Step 1: Preparing the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2: Adding the Water and Oil
Pour the warm water and olive oil into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until a ball of dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour. On the other hand, if the dough is too dry, add a little more water. The dough should be soft and slightly elastic.
Step 3: Kneading the Dough
Dust a clean surface with flour and transfer the dough onto it. Start kneading the dough by pressing it with the palm of your hand, then folding it in half and repeating the process. Continue kneading for about 5 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and springy.
Step 4: Shaping the Dough
Divide the dough into two equal portions for medium-sized pizzas or leave it as one if you prefer a larger pizza. Roll out the dough using a rolling pin or stretch it with your hands until you achieve the desired thickness. For a thin crust, roll it out more thinly, and for a thicker crust, leave it slightly thicker.
Step 5: Topping and Baking
Place the pizza dough on a greased baking sheet or a pizza stone. Add your favorite pizza toppings such as tomato sauce, cheese, vegetables, and meats. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C), then bake the pizza for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Step 6: Enjoy Your Homemade Pizza!
Once the pizza is out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it. Serve it hot and enjoy your delicious homemade pizza crust without yeast!
