How to make Pizza dough at home without yeast, the recipe with full video and step by step instructions.
We usually make pizza dough with yeast and I have posted a detailed method on how to make Tandoori paneer pizza. As we are in lockdown now, we are not getting yeast in many places. The kids have been asking me to make pizza ever since I bought the oven. But I have been postponing as I don’t have yeast in the pantry.
Sometime back when my brother in law asked me the same, I really started thinking hard and told him that I will come up with a solution soon. I tried pizza using the Kulcha base and turned out super yum. When I shared the no yeast pizza on Jeyashri’s kitchen Instagram, many asked for the recipe. So I thought will share a detailed video on How to make Pizza dough at home without yeast.
The recipe for the pizza base at home is very simple with available ingredients at home. Also in this recipe, I have not used any veggies, but you can use veggies of your choice. Even if you don’t get grated cheese in your place, use the cheese slices. You can roughly tear them into pieces and place them on the top of the pizza and bake it.

Thanks Jayashri for the recipe ! Can we use whole wheat flour instead of APF/Maida? Thanks !
You can use half and half, full wheat flour will be dense or use 3/4 cup of atta and 1/4 cup of maida
