Make Ahead Pizza Dough for Busy Nights
This low sodium pizza dough recipe is fantastic to make ahead of time for a party, potluck, or just a busy week at home. Making this recipe in advance allows you to skip any cooking or prep when you are ready to eat. I made this pizza dough a few days ahead of time, wrapped it in plastic wrap, and kept it in the fridge for a few days before baking. And it tasted amazing! This is a great recipe to entertain with too – you can make a few batches and have a pizza topping bar for parties. A crowd-pleaser that everyone is sure to love!

What’s In This Salt Free Pizza Crust Recipe?
I get all the fresh produce for my recipes from my garden and from Misfits Market – they sell all organic produce at a super discounted price, and it’s purchased direct from the farmers. We get Misfit Market boxes every month and love picking out our favorite seasonal produce for delivery. You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here!Â
If you think organic produce is too expensive… think again, and give Misfits Market a look!
- Instant Yeast: I recently tried out this instant yeast on a whim (normally I buy active dry) and I absolutely love it!  Instant yeast is great for both overnight breads and this easy quick whole wheat sliced bread recipe too!
- Granulated Sugar: I like this organic sugar for my recipes, it has a really nice texture in this bread, I’d recommend Anthony’s organic sugar for baking.
- Warm Water
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Garlic – I use fresh, but you can also use garlic powder if you don’t have fresh cloves
- Italian Seasoning Blend: usually has thyme, basil, rosemary, parsley, etc. I love this bright and flavorful Italian season mix which brings this amazing pizza dough to life.
- All Purpose Flour: I normally use King Arthur organic all purpose flour for all my recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces. If you are gluten free, then a gluten free flour would be a nice substitute in this dish. If you want to keep it a little wholesome, you can use half whole wheat flour as well.

How Do I Make This No Salt Pizza Crust Recipe?
- In a large bowl, add the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Mix and allow to sit for 5 minutes until the yeast begins to bubble. Add the olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and mix in the all purpose flour one cup at a time until a sticky dough forms.
- Turn out the dough onto a silicon baking sheet and knead by hand for 5 minutes until the dough is soft and well incorporated.
- Store in a bowl, cover with a damp towel, and allow to rise for 1 hour (optional) or use right away if you are short on time.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 425. Roll out crust to an even thickness, and bake for 6 minutes. Remove from oven, add pizza sauce and toppings, and bake for another 8 minutes until pizza is done. Mangia!

I love making pizza and this was so good
Hi Kelly,
is this pizza dough recipe meant to be rolled out thick or thin?
thank u, susan
Hi Susan, it should be rolled thin, about 1/4 inch thick. It’ll rise as it’s baked, so even if it looks quite thin, it will rise in the oven!
– Kelly
thnx Kelly.
Hi Kelly,
This is based on 16 servings—how much is a serving? Sorry to keep asking these questions, but my husband has heart disease and I must be very accurate with his sodium. thnx, susan
Hi Susan,
I made this recipe for my grandparents who are also on a strict low sodium diet. I ended up adjusting the amounts a little bit so instead of this full recipe, I did about 2/3 of what this recipe calls for. It rolled out nicely in an 18×12 baking sheet. The crust was really good! The 3 of us ate the entire pan with 2 square slices left over (we did not do any sides or anything). I did end up needing a few more minutes to bake than this called for, but I will definitely be making this crust again!
This recipe is indeed mouth-watering
Can this dough be put in the freezer?
This crust is amazing! Easy and very flexible! I sometimes make 2 crusts, but one of the crusts I cool after the 6 minute prebake, then wrap and freeze it. Then on those busy days, I grab it from the freezer and it’s ready to go! I have even made completely premade pizzas on it, frozen, then baked! It’s a perfect density and the flavor point for 1 sodium per serving is delicious! Best recipe find ever for house!
I’ve been struggling to find a good low sodium pizza dough that will cook well in my Ooni and this one is perfect. Flakes up so well. Good crisp texture. Made a triple batch for a pizza party and it was a huge hit.
