Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Beer Crust

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 Cups Unbleached Flour, Extra For Dusting

1 Tbs Baking Powder

1/2 Tsp Salt

1 12 Oz Can Light Or Dark Beer

Olive Oil For Greasing

3 Cups Grated Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese

Toppings Of Your Choice:

Diced Tomatoes, Garlic, Mushrooms Etc

 

1. Preheat the 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.

2.Spread a handful of flour on your work surface and dump the dough onto

it. Toss the dough around to coat with the flour and prevent from

sticking. Knead it 2 or 3 times to make it pliable. Shape the dough into

a ball then divide it to make two.

3. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets. Use a rolling pin to roll each ball

into an 11 or 12 inch circle, or place the balls on the baking sheets and

use your hands to flatten them into 11 or 12 inch circles, (If you are

not ready to cook the pizza now, you can place the pans directly into the

freezer to stop any rising action of the dough. Remove from freezer about

30 minutes before cooking.)

4. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the cheese on each crust. Top with the toppings

of your choice. (Alternatively you can make a traditional version with

pizza sauce underneath the cheese- just be certain to spread a -thin-

layer)

5.Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top and underneath.

Makes two 11-12 inch pizzas.
