And Pizza with baking soda is such a cool twist from Campania. It's really really great for those nights you want pizza but don't want to wait forever. Swap out yeast for bicarbonate and boom—no yeast pizza dough that's ready in like, an hour. Pretty simple, right? And here's the thing, it's not about ditching the classic dough. It's just about making pizza nights easier. The base? A bit different—think tender and slightly crispy, which is great. This easy pizza crust holds all your favorite toppings without a fuss.

The Margherita is a classic choice, super tasty with tomato and mozzarella. And in Campania? They dig the Marinara with garlic and anchovies. You can get creative—really, just use whatever's in the fridge. And listen, the golden finish? Seriously satisfying. Perfect for snacks or when friends pop by unexpectedly. Not all quick meals hit the mark, but this quick pizza dough nails it. It’s got that moist, slightly chewy bite—so so good.

People are trying new things, like air fryer pizzas or other yeast-free pizza recipes. It's kinda exciting how this simple switch gives pizza night a fresh vibe. Whether you're a toppings fanatic or just want to keep it simple, this homemade pizza recipe is forgiving. Pile on the cheese, toss in some veggies, or just go with olive oil and herbs—no question.

For those looking for a baking powder pizza dough or a simple base, this method cuts the hassle and still gives that tangy flavor—pretty much like traditional pizza. Plus, the speed of it all makes you wonder why you ever waited hours for dough to rise. It's a game-changer, for real. Quick and delicious—can't go wrong with that.

Preparation

How to prepare Baking Soda Pizza

To prepare the baking soda pizza, sift the flour and baking soda into a large bowl 1, then add the oil 2 and start mixing 3.

Dissolve the salt in a small amount of water taken from the total amount 4, then pour the mixture into the bowl 5 and continue mixing, gradually adding the rest of the water 6.

Knead the mixture by hand until the flour has absorbed all the water 7, then transfer to a lightly floured work surface and continue working for 10-12 minutes 8; you should obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. Place the dough in an oiled bowl 9, cover with a cloth, and let it rest at room temperature for an hour.

After resting, gently stretch the dough with your hands to form a disk about 10 inches in diameter 10. Oil a pan of the same size 11 and place the dough on top 12.

Now mix 1 1/4 cups of tomato puree with salt, oil, and oregano in a bowl 13. Spread the tomato sauce on the pizza 14 and season with another drizzle of oil 15. Bake the base in a preheated static oven at 375°F for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, slice the mozzarella fiordilatte 16. Remove the base from the oven and add the mozzarella 17, then bake again for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Once cooked, garnish with fresh basil and serve your baking soda pizza immediately 18!
