Astonishingly Easy "yeasty" Bisquick Pizza Dough

This amazed me when I first came up with it. The yeast is basically a flavoring agent, the dough works pretty well without it but it does add a tiny bit of springy-ness. Measurements are (very) approximate, just follow the directions...

Craving a pizzeria-style crust without the hours of proofing? This astonishingly easy vegan pizza dough uses Bisquick to deliver that iconic, nostalgic 'yeasty' flavor in under 25 minutes. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it’s the ultimate beginner-friendly solution for a quick, budget-friendly weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Makes 1 serving

  • 1 biscuit mix
  • 1 whole wheat flour
  • 1 warm water
  • olive oil

Method

  1. Mix biscuit mix and yeast. Add warm water until it reaches about the consistency of cake batter.

  2. Add wheat flour until a firm dough is formed. Pat or roll out into desired crust shape, using olive oil as desired to prevent sticking.

  3. Top as desired and bake at around 400 degrees until done, time of course will depend on how thick you make it but 20 minutes is a good estimate.

Cook's notes

  • For a golden-brown finish, lightly brush the edges of your crust with a touch of olive oil before baking.
  • If you prefer a thinner, crunchier crust, roll the dough out directly on a piece of parchment paper for easier transferring.
  • Preheat your baking sheet or pizza stone while the oven heats up to ensure a crispier bottom crust.

Easy swaps

  • Make it gluten-free by swapping the standard Bisquick for a certified gluten-free baking mix.
  • Add a tablespoon of nutritional yeast directly into the dry mix to amplify that savory, 'yeasty' profile.
  • Incorporate dried Italian herbs like oregano, basil, or garlic powder into the dough for added depth.
