Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.25 cups beer (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add olive oil, room-temperature beer, and warm water to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
If using a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and mix on low speed until the mixture begins to form a shaggy dough. Increase the speed to medium and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and slightly tacky. If kneading by hand, bring the dough together in the bowl, then transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free location for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release any air. Divide it into two equal portions if making two pizzas, or leave it whole for one large pizza.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired pizza size and thickness. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza stone before topping with your favorite ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). For best results, allow the oven and pizza stone (if using) to preheat for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then slice and enjoy!
