Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add water and olive oil, then mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Shape and Top
  1. Knead dough for 1-2 minutes until smooth, then press into a 7-8 inch circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Spread pizza sauce evenly, leaving a border for the crust, then sprinkle with mozzarella and add desired toppings.
Bake and Serve
  1. Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 8-10 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
  2. Slice and serve your quick homemade pizza.

Notes

For a crispier crust, preheat your baking sheet in the oven before placing the dough on it. Get creative with your toppings; almost anything goes on pizza. This recipe is designed for speed, but a traditional yeast-risen dough offers a different texture if you have more time.
