Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Bisquick Baking Mix – You can buy a box from the store or make your own homemade Bisquick mix with simple pantry ingredients. Either way, using an all-purpose baking mix makes the entire process is practically fail-proof!
- Flour – Use all-purpose or 00 flour (what some of the best Italian chefs and home cooks use in their pizzas!). Using a little flour creates the light texture everyone loves!
- Baking Powder— No-yeast pizza dough uses baking powder instead of yeast to help rise the crust.
- Dried Italian Seasoning – This seasoning is optional but it adds a nice flavor to the crust.
Need a gluten-free option? You can use gluten-free Bisquick (by following the replacement instructions on the box) and any cup-for-cup gluten-free flour. King Arthur Flour even has a gluten free pizza flour.
For a low-carb and dairy-free option, you can make this cauliflower pizza crust without cheese!
How to Make Pizza Dough with Bisquick
- Be sure the water is warm enough.
The water for your batter needs to be between 105ºF and 115°F. This encourages the leavening and rising agents to do what they do best: create a soft and fluffy crust. - Let the dough rest.
Allow the protein strands (gluten) to relax to make it easier to stretch and roll out. Allow at least 20 minutes of rest time for this; the crust will also rise.
- Aim for a soft but slightly tacky texture.
After the rest, the dough should be soft, but slightly tacky.
- Knead and stretch the dough before rolling it.
Working with dough that won’t hold its shape can be so frustrating! We suggest you knead and stretch the crust for about 15 seconds before rolling it — this tightens the crust so that it doesn’t shrink down as you roll it.
- Use parchment paper for the best results.
After you’ve formed the dough ball, place it on a sheet of parchment paper before you take your rolling pin to it. Transferring the dough to the sheet pan or stone so much easier.
- Get your kids involved.
Once you have your perfectly shaped crust ready, it’s time to add your favorite toppings! This is a great moment to get your kids involved. They’ll love watching their creations bake up in the oven.
Frequently Asked Questions
The key is hydration with warm water. Homemade pizzas are baked at lower temperatures than in a restaurant oven, so they bake longer. The higher heat is what gives the crust the light, airy, bubbly texture we love.
Bake it at 450ºF for a high-rise crust that’s bubbly on top and perfectly baked underneath. If your oven goes above 450ºF, we have modifications in the recipe for higher heat.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Yes, roll the dough into a ball and place it in a freezer-safe sealed container for up to three months. For more tips on freezing, see our freezing pizza dough post.

It’s so easy to make and turns out perfectly every time. The crust is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s a great base for any pizza toppings.
