Ingredients
  • 1 bottle beer (I use Leinenkugel Honey Weiss)
  • 2 T honey
  • 2 T olive oil
  • about 4 cups of flour (you can use all white flour, a combination of white and whole wheat 1 to 1 ratio) the amount is just a guideline - you may need to use more
  • 1 1/2 to 2 t yeast
  • 1/4 t salt

Directions
  1. Heat beer in a pot, adding the honey and stirring to dissolve
  2. When it is very warm but not hot you have 2 choices - pour it into a large warmed bowl or put it in your bread maker (I use a bread machine set to 2 lb, medium loaf setting)
  3. Add the oil, 3 cups of the flour, the salt and the yeast. If using a machine turn it on and leave the lid open while you watch it do it's thing. If using a bowl, use the same steps and start kneadin"
  4. Use more flour as needed, adding it to the bread machine or bowl until dough looks right.
  5. It should all be uniform, and feel soft and firm and give some when you press on it.
  6. Let dough sit in bowl till well raised, which will not take long. In my bread machine the kneading takes 5 minutes and then I turn the machine off and let the dough sit for about 10 or 15 minutes.
  7. This makes one large 16" thick pizza crust. Let it raise longer and it will be 2 thin crusts!
  8. To form the pizza - roll into one or two balls and flatten. On a floured surface turn the dough and press - stretching it slowly without tearing.
  9. To make pizza - use a pizza stone OR oil a pizza pan, put the dough into it and prick all over with a fork
  10. Bake in preheated oven at 350 to 375 degrees for about 5 minutes - this will prevent a soggy crust when you put the pizza sauce on it. I usually sprinkle the top with pizza seasoning and drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt
  11. This dough can also be used to make calzones or panzerotti - simply roll and press out into a circle, fill, moisten edge and seal by pressing - then bake or deep fry till golden brown.
