Beer Drinkers Pizza Dough Recipes

BEER PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE

Steps:

• In the standup mixer add the water and sprinkle the yeast on top, let sit 5-10 minutes then stir to combine. Add the beer, flour and oil, start to knead then add the salt and continue to knead for 5-7 minutes.
• Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and form into a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl rolling the dough to lightly cover in oil, cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel, let rise in a warm draft free area for 1-2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead a few times, divide the dough into two parts or leave as one, cover with a tea towel and let rest* 20 minutes. Form the dough on 1-2 pizza rounds or cookie sheets, top with your favourite toppings and bake in a 425F (220C) oven for 12-15 minutes. Cut and serve. Enjoy!

BEER DRINKERS' PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap garlic in a piece of parchment-lined foil. Roast until soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool, and squeeze cloves to remove pulp.
• In a medium bowl, stir to combine roasted garlic, tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, oregano, and basil. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• On a pizza peel dusted with flour, place one-quarter of the dough. Using your fingers, begin to flatten and push dough evenly out from center until it measures about 12 inches in diameter. Crimp edges to form a rim. Sprinkle one-quarter of the mozzarella onto dough. Spoon 1/2 cup of the tomato mixture over mozzarella.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. When very hot but not smoking, reduce heat to low. Lift pizza peel and, using a slight jerking motion, slide pizza about one inch back and forth on the peel to loosen it. Slightly tilt the peel, and slide the pizza off the peel, centering it in the skillet. Cover skillet, and cook until pizza is golden on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

BEER DOUGH PIZZA

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients (except breadcrumbs).
• Add beer and knead to smooth (the more you knead it, the chewier it will become!).
• Let rise until doubled in size in a well-oiled bowl.
• Turn out and knead again. Let rise.
• Roll dough out onto pizza pan that has been greased and sprinkled with Italian style bread crumbs (there is no need to "roll" edges, the pizza will rise enough where there are no toppings to create it's own crust).
• Add toppings of your choice, sprinkle crust with more bread crumbs.
• Bake at 400° until golden brown.

BEER PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
• Pour in the beer and mix well.
• The dough will be sticky.
• Spread a handful of flour on your work surface and dump the dough onto it.
• Tiss the dough around to coat it with flour and prevent it from sticking.
• Knead it 2 or 3 times to make it pliable.
• Shape the dough into a ball and divide it in two if you are making 2 thin crust pizzas.
• For a deep dish pie do not divide.
• Grease your pizza pan with oil and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a circle.
• Brush crust with olive oil lightly and then add your sauce and toppings.
• Bake for 12- 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.

QUICK BEER PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• 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.
