Cannabis Pizza Dough
Cannabis Pizza Dough. Approximately ~14.0mg THC per pizza at full strength. 2h 20min total, 4 personal pizzas yield.
There’s something magical about making pizza dough from scratch — the satisfying knead, watching it rise, and that perfect chewy-crispy texture you just can’t get from store-bought bases. This cannabis pizza dough takes that homemade goodness up a notch, infusing cannabutter directly into the dough for a mellow, long-lasting high that builds as you savour each slice.
Each personal pizza delivers approximately 14mg THC when made with standard cannabutter, making it perfect for a relaxed Friday night in. The beauty of infused dough is that the cannabis is evenly distributed throughout, ensuring consistent dosing in every bite, or calculate your exact dose with our free Edibles Dosage Calculator.

Method
Activate the yeast by combining warm water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy and bubbling.
Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl, creating a well in the centre. Pour in the activated yeast mixture, melted cannabutter, and olive oil.
Mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
Rise the dough by placing it in an oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a damp tea towel and let rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours until doubled in size. Amber Glass Dropper Bottles 30ml (10-pack) helps maintain consistent proofing temperature.
Divide the risen dough into 4 equal portions (about 125g each). Shape into balls and let rest for 10 minutes under a damp towel.
Shape each portion by stretching from the centre outward, or use a rolling pin for a more even base. Aim for 20-25cm diameter circles.
Bake on a preheated pizza stone or baking tray at 240°C for 8-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the base sounds hollow when tapped.
Expert Tips
Perfect Cannabutter Temperature
Melt your cannabutter gently and let it cool to room temperature before adding to avoid killing the yeast. Hot fats can destroy yeast activity.
Try Half-Strength First
New to cannabis pizza? Use 5g cannabutter + 5g regular butter for your first batch. You can always make it stronger next time.
Overnight Cold Rise
For even better flavour, let the dough rise slowly in the fridge overnight. This develops complex flavours and makes the dough easier to handle.
Freeze for Later
Divide and freeze shaped dough balls wrapped in plastic. Thaw at room temperature for 2 hours when ready to use.
Label Everything
Always label cannabis pizza dough clearly with contents, THC content, and date made. Store separately from regular food to avoid confusion.
Pizza Stone Magic
A preheated pizza stone gives restaurant-quality crispy bases. Heat it for at least 30 minutes before use for best results.
Storage Guide
| Method | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Room temperature | Same day | Use within 6 hours of making |
| Refrigerated | 3 days | Wrap tightly, bring to room temp before shaping |

Yes, if you’re making cannabutter from scratch, decarboxylation is essential to activate the THC. However, if you’re using pre-made cannabutter, the decarb step is already done. Check our cannabutter guide for full instructions.
Yes, you can substitute cannabis coconut oil 1:1 for cannabutter. Make sure it’s at room temperature (solid but soft) when mixing into the dough. The flavour will be slightly different but equally delicious.
