No-Knead Liquid Dough Pizza (Quick & Easy)

 Pizza is a beloved Western dish, especially in the Italian cuisine.  While traditional pizza dough can be time-consuming, this no-knead liquid dough pizza is perfect for busy days.  It requires no kneading and no long proofing, yet still delivers a crispy base and soft interior.  This viral recipe from TikTok and YouTube is simple, fast, and made with everyday ingredients—ideal for a quick homemade meal.

Ingredients:

Dough ingredients:

  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 2/3 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Seasoning ingredients:

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Toppings ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked chicken (or pepperoni, salami, or ham)
  • 1 cup shredded mixed cheese
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

Other ingredients

  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/3 cup pizza sauce

Directions:

1.  Making the batter is one:
In a bowl, mix warm water, yeast, sugar, salt, oil, and Italian seasoning.  Add the flour and stir until smooth. The batter will be loose and pourable—this is normal.

2.  Preparing the pan:
Brush a pizza pan with oil and dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.

3.  Resting the dough:
Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly.  Let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

4.  Preheating the oven:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

5.  Par-baking the crust:
Spoon pizza sauce evenly over the rested dough. Bake for 15 minutes, allowing the bottom to set and lightly crisp.

6.  Adding toppings:
Remove from the oven.  Top evenly with chicken, red onion, and shredded cheese.

7.  Final baking:
Return to the oven and bake for another 12–15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the cheese is fully melted and lightly browned.

8.  Resting & Serving:
Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes, then slice and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use any seasoning you like (garlic powder, chili flakes, or dried basil work well).
  • Swap pizza sauce for pesto, BBQ sauce, or white sauce for variety.
  • This dough works great in a cast-iron pan for extra crispiness.
