Perfect for busy home cooks, this recipe requires just a handful of pantry staples like all-purpose flour, yeast, and olive oil, and skips the tedious kneading process. With a soft, pillowy rise, the dough can be shaped into thin, crispy pizza crusts, fluffy naan cooked on the stovetop, or golden focaccia with irresistibly crispy edges. Whether you're topping your flatbreads with garlic and herbs, cheese, or your favorite pizza toppings, this adaptable recipe ensures delicious results in under 2 hours. Ideal for weeknight dinners, casual gatherings, or experimenting with artisan bread-making at home, this no-knead dough will become your kitchen go-to.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil while stirring with a spoon or spatula. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, deflate the dough gently by folding it over itself several times. If it’s too sticky, lightly flour your hands.
For pizza: Preheat your oven to the highest setting (around 475°F/245°C). Divide the dough into portions, roll or stretch into thin circles, and place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Add your favorite toppings and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.
For naan: Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a rough oval. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each piece for 1-2 minutes on each side until puffed and golden. Brush with melted butter or garlic butter, if desired.
For focaccia: Lightly oil a square or rectangular baking pan. Spread the dough evenly into the pan with oiled hands. Dimple the surface with your fingers and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, herbs, or other toppings. Let it rest for 30 minutes, then bake at 425°F (220°C) for 18-20 minutes until golden and crisp on the edges.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade flatbread creations!
