RecipeTin Eats’ life-changing 30-minute pizza.Nagi Maehashi

This pizza recipe will change your life. And I don’t make bold statements like that lightly.

The secret is my no-yeast pizza base,which is blitzed up in 90 seconds using a food processor. It’s ridiculously good – pillowy inside and crispy on the outside.

Once you have measured out and prepared the ingredients,you can have this on the table in 30 minutes flat.

Ingredients

Pizza sauce

¼ cup tomato passata
1 tsp tomato paste
¼ tsp caster sugar
⅛ tsp salt
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Pizza dough

200g bread flour (or use plain flour,see note)
2 tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
¾ tsp sugar
125ml cold tap water
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp extra flour,for dusting
olive oil spray

Pizza toppings

¼ red onion,sliced 3mm thick
125g (1¼ cups) freshly grated mozzarella
50g (¾ cup) sliced cup mushrooms
70g (½ cup) chopped ham (store-bought)
35g (¼ cup) whole pitted kalamata olives

Method

Step1
Preheat oven to 230C fan-forced (250C conventional). Place a shelf in the top quarter of the oven.
Step2
To make the pizza sauce,mix the ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
Step3
To make the pizza dough:In a food processor bowl,add the flour,baking powder,salt and sugar and pulse twice using the standard S blade. Add the water and olive oil and blitz on low for 40 seconds – the ingredients will come together into a shaggy ball.
Step4
Roll out the dough:Sprinkle the benchtop with half of the extra flour and scrape the dough out of the food processor bowl onto the bench. Sprinkle with the remaining extra flour and shape the dough into a ball. It should be soft and elastic and not stick to your hands,but it will not be completely smooth like yeast dough. Roll out into a 30cm round.
Step5
Assembling the pizza base:Spray a pizza tray (preferably one with holes,which creates a crisper base) or a baking tray with olive oil and transfer the dough to the tray. Use your fingers to stretch the dough outwards from the centre to fill the tray to the edge. Avoid pinching the edges (to ensure puffy crust!)
Step6
Top and bake: Top the dough with pizza sauce,leaving a 2cm margin around the edge. Add the toppings in the order listed and spray the exposed crust edge with olive oil spray.
Step7
Bake for 12 minutes,until the edges are crisp and golden. Cut and serve immediately.

Bread flour gives this no-yeast recipe a similar chew to traditional pizza dough.iStock

Notes

If you don’t have bread flour,you can use plain flour instead but the pizza dough will not have quite the same “chew” to it. Bread flour is a high-protein flour that gives the crust the signature “chew” you get in yeast-based dough,so most people would never pick that it’s a no-yeast pizza crust.
Feel free to swap out the toppings for ingredients you prefer.
