What can I use instead of yeast for pizza dough?
I don't have any yeast and I really want to make pizza dough.. here is the recipe in case that makes a difference
1 pkg. active yeast
1 1/4 c. warm water
2 tbsp. cooking oil
4 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
Dissolve yeast in warm water, stir in oil. Sift flour and salt together and stir into first mixture. Knead for 15 minutes, let rise until double in bulk. Makes 2 pizzas. Add your sauce and desired topping. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
A vegan substitute is needed
Thanks in advance 
lol yeast is vegan but I don't have any and need the substitute to be vegan
sugar, however, is surprisingly, often not vegan [whitened with animal bones]
I heard baking soda works, has anyone had success with this?
Baking powder is used in baking quick breads, which do not require the rising time as yeast. Examples of quick breads are banana bread and biscuits. You could try it but the bread produced would most likely be more like a brick.
Recipes utilizing yeast usually must be allowed to "rise" before baking. This is because yeast is a microorganism that converts starch into alcohol and carbon dioxide. As the yeast cells slowly begin to act on the starch, bubbles of carbon dioxide are produced which are then trapped in pockets within the dough, creating the "rising" action.
Yeast is most effective when the dough contains a high amount of gluten, a starchy, elastic substance found in wheat.
Gluten helps to keep the carbon dioxide bubbles contained inside the dough, thus aiding in the rising process. When heated, the carbon dioxide expands further, which makes the dough rise even more.
Yeast are single-celled fungi. As fungi, they are related to the other fungi that people are more familiar with, including: edible mushrooms available at the supermarket, common baker's yeast used to leaven bread, molds that ripen blue cheese, and the molds that produce antibiotics for medical and veterinary use.
Many consider edible yeast and fungi to be as natural as fruits and vegetables.
