How to Make Beer Pizza Crust

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 cup beer (any type works, but a lighter beer is recommended), 1 teaspoon salt, and 2-3 cups all-purpose flour. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. If using a bread machine, place the dough ingredients in the pan according to the manufacturer's instructions. Select the dough cycle.
  4. If mixing by hand, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough in half (or leave whole for one large pizza).
  7. Shape each dough portion into a round or rectangular pizza crust.
  8. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  9. Place the crusts on baking sheets or pizza stones.
  10. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
