Quick yeast-free pizza dough

Quick yeast-free pizza dough is a find for home baking lovers when time is short and the desire for aromatic pizza is high. The base of the dough is kefir, which combined with baking soda and eggs creates a tender, airy structure without the need for yeast. Olive oil adds softness while flour provides necessary density. This dough pairs excellently with any toppings, allowing experimentation with classic and signature flavors. Russian cuisine is known for its simplicity and accessibility, and this recipe is a great confirmation of that. Pizza made with this dough turns out golden brown with a slight crunch but remains soft inside. A perfect finishing touch would be fresh herbs added before serving to give the dish lightness and freshness.
