How to Make St Louis Style Pizza Dough
This pizza dough is super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. The best part about this recipe is that there is NO yeast! Just mix everything together and roll it out. No rising required!
To make the dough, combine all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, olive oil, corn syrup, and water. You can mix the dough by hand or with a stand mixer. Once the dough is mixed together, use a rolling pin to shape the dough into a circle and place it on a pizza pan. Top with pizza sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings such as pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, green pepper, bacon, onions, and olives. Bake in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before cutting into square slices. Garnish with fresh basil.
Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes St. Louis-style pizza unique is the cheese. It uses Provel cheese instead of mozzarella. Provel cheese isn’t common outside of St. Louis Missouri, so I used a facsimile of white cheddar, Swiss, provolone, and liquid smoke. I was hesitant to try it, but I am so glad I did. It was SO, SO good!! It really makes the pizza.

The BEST Cracker-Thin Crust Pizza
As I said, this is our go-to pizza recipe. The crust is thin and crispy. Just how we like it! This crust with our No-Cook Pizza Sauce is perfection! When it comes to side dishes, I’ve some great ideas! First up, a crisp and refreshing side salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a tangy vinaigrette is a must. Its light and zesty flavors will perfectly complement the richness of the pizza. Next, how about some toasted ravioli on the side? These crispy bites filled with gooey cheese are a St. Louis classic that’ll take your pizza feast to a whole new level of deliciousness. And for a complete meal, whip up some garlic breadsticks with warm marinara. YUM!

can you use a high heat pizza oven with this crust (maybe substitute 00 flour?) such as an ooni oven?
what size is the pizza? is it enough for 2 people?
It is enough for 2 people
We don’t have corn syrup. Can we substitute honey or sugar?
You can give it a whirl!
