- Yields:
-
2 pizzas
ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 cups room-temperature beer
directions
- Mix and knead together all the ingredients - by hand, mixer or bread machine - until you've made a smooth, soft dough. Cover the dough, and allow it to rise for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 500F with a pizza stone (if you are using one) on a lower rack.
- Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a 10" to 12" round.
- Place the rounds on parchment paper, if you're going to use a pizza stone. Or place the dough on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Transfer the pizzas, parchment and all to the baking stone. Or place the pans in the oven. Bake for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven, top as desired, and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the bottom crust is crisp and the cheese is bubbly and browned.
- Remove from the oven, and serve hot.

Awesome pizza dough. I could barely taste the beer, but that's ok as I'm not a huge beer drinker. My husband was starving so he wanted a hefty pizza -- we used the whole recipe to make 1 pizza crust. It was really thick so then we could pile to toppings on and the crust still was strong enough to support it all. We baked it the same as the recipe called for and it was perfect. We topped it off with some hot ground pork sausage, diced green bell pepper, red onion, cheddar cheese, colby-cheddar blend, mushrooms, and also cut up some jalapeno cheddar brat/sausage things. This baby was HUGE -- haha we weighed it when it came out of the oven and it was 4 pounds 9 oz! My husband pronounced it the best homemade pizza he's ever eaten and the crust was perfect. Thanks so much for posting! Made for Pick A Chef Fall 2009.

A great pizza-dough recipe. Used the ingredients you have listed and also incorporated 1 t. of italian seasoning. I cut this recipe back just a bit as I wanted it to fit a 10x15 inch stone cookie sheet. I don't know what the beer does exactly as far as taste goes, but it sure was yummy. Topped it all with DH's favorites, ie: olives, pepperoni's, ham, and italian sausage. Some mozzarella and freshly grated parm rounded out this filling supper. Made for TYM Tag Game~ p.s...I failed to mention that I made this in my bread machine.
