Pizza night just got better with this simple no rise, no fail homemade pizza crust recipe. This crust is chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
I chose to make my favorite Oatmeal Scotchies. Today is Sunday so you know what that means it's Potluck Sunday. Potluck Sunday is my favorite day to post because I get to see all of the yummy recipe contributions. So, thank you to everyone who links up every week.
Friday night is homemade pizza night at our house. We normally make homemade pizza twice a month, but lately it's become a Friday night ritual. When I make homemade pizza I usually use my favorite quick and easy pizza crust recipe, but earlier in the week I found a new pizza crust recipe that I couldn't wait to try.
I came across this recipe in my thrifty fun recipe newsletter . I love this newsletter because it has so many great recipe from home cooks everywhere. The person who contributed this recipe received it from a friend from Sandhills, Nebraska over 30 years ago, so I knew it had to be good.
What I love most about this pizza dough is that you don't have to let it rise before rolling. I did let the dough rest for about 20 minutes after mixing, but that's my own personal preference. My husband loves a thin crust pizza, but I prefer more of a semi thick pizza crust that is chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
That is exactly how this pizza crust turned out. Perfection if you ask me. I know everyone has their very own favorite pizza crust recipe, but this one is my new go to recipe for pizza. I hope you will give it a try.

Here are some step by step photos of this perfect no fail pizza dough. It was really easy to work with and I had no problems stretching the dough out to fit the pizza pan. The pans we use have holes in the bottom for even cooking, but I still want to a pizza stone. Everyone I talk to says the stones make the perfect pizza crust.
No Fail Pizza Crust
Ingredients:
2 1/2 - cups all purpose flour
1 - teaspoon salt
1 - cup warm water
1 - tablespoon baking powder
4 - tablespoons butter, softened
1 - 1/4 oz packet yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
Instructions:
Dissolve the yeast in warm water (110 degrees) and set aside. Mix the flour, salt and baking powder together.
Add the softened butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or fork. Add the yeast mixture and stir together to combine.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until well blended. Place the pizza dough into a oiled bowl and turn the dough to coat. Let rest for about 20 minutes.
Cover the bowl with dish towel or plastic wrap while the dough rests. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Spray your pizza pan with non stick baking spray or brush with olive oil. You can also use a pizza stone.
Press the pizza dough into the pan. Pre bake the pizza crust for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread with pizza sauce and add all your favorite toppings.
Place the pizza in the oven and bake until the crust is golden browned and the cheese is melted about 10-15 minutes.
Recipe yields: One 15 inch Pizza Crust
Cook's Note: If using self-rising flour omit the salt and baking powder in the recipe.

Easy Peasy recipe. Almost like mine only I don't add the butter but will be trying this recipe for sure. Thank U.
Oh; don't tell me that is a round cast iron pizza pan? I have been looking and been wanting one.
I do own and use my pizza stone all the time; except for pizza that is, and that is only because I don't have the paddle to slide the dough onto the hot stone. The stone you put in the oven before turning on the oven and having it preheat as the oven is preheating. Luv my stone.
