We love to make pizza. We usually use Trader Joe’s pizza dough, but this time we wanted to make it from scratch. Hungry helpers wanted it super fast so I had to forgo a yeast dough. This baking powder pizza dough recipe is so fast and easy you’ll have a pizza in the oven in about 20 minutes.
This is such a fun way to spend time in the kitchen with your family. Divide the dough and make smaller individual pies that way each family member can top it with whatever they desire.
Enjoy!
