Yes beer! I like my beer to cook with. And pizza dough is no exception. A couple of years ago you could have never seen me making homemade pizza dough but now it has become a favorite of my family. If you plan ahead and get the dough going about 3 pm you are perfect for it being done for dinner. My family prefers the home made dough to ordering from the pizza companies.Beer Pizza Dough
Makes enough dough for four 12-inch pizzas.
1 cup warm beer
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tsp sugar
3/4 ts. salt
1 1/2 ounces fresh yeast (I used one package of dry yeast)
2 3/4 to 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
I stuck my bottle of beer into a measuring cup and then stuck the beer into the microwave for a minute. Check to make sure it isn't too warm.
Add the yeast to the beer
let it get foamy
add to the rest of the ingredients. I don't make a fuss about it. I dump it all into a bowl and stir up.
Use a wooden spoon until mixed
Dump on a floured surface
Knead for a good five minutes
Put into a clean greased bowl
Cover and let rise
Punch it down and use for pizza or calzones
I am making both!
My Ballplayer loves calzones. These freeze well for lunches
