A night in making pizza can be fun, especially for a couple looking for a cheap date night.
It has become a family event every Saturday. My teen boys love the homemade dough and creating their own pizza with too many toppings. Hubby and I remember the days when just he and I would pour some wine and enjoy the time in the kitchen with only each other.
Here is the recipe I used for my
Beer Pizza Dough.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups water ( Or 1 Cup
Water and 1/3 Cup Flat Beer for better flavor)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
Directions
1.
Add ingredients to machine in order.
2.
Set to “Dough” mode.
3.
Once completed, place in greased pan
to rise about 20-30 min, and split in half.
4.
For easy storage, put in Ziploc
bags, stack flat to be used as needed. Will be good for 2 days.
5.
When you are ready to make pie, slap the dough
on a cornmeal/floured surface, roll flat, Hand spin if you are willing to trash
the kitchen with flying pizza!
6.
Add light layer of sauce and
pre-bake at 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes.
7.
Remove from oven and add toppings of
your choice.
8.
Bake in oven at 400 degrees until
done (approx 20 min, depending upon topping thickness).
