The secrets to the perfect beer-crust pizza with Castle Lager!
The key is to use good ingredients – milk, beer and oil give the dough the right depth (water has nothing on us)! ?
2 ½ Cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 ½ Cups Semolina Flour
2 Tsp Instant Yeast
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1 ½ Tsp Salt
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 ½ Cups Room-Temperature Castle Lager
Step by Step:
By mixer, hand or bread machine – mix and knead together all of the ingredients.
Cover and allow time to rise (30 Minutes-2 Hours)
Preheat oven to 450 F (you don’t need a pizza stone, however, we love ours from NerdChef)
Divide dough in half – each round should be shaped 10″-12″ inches.
Place rounds on parchment paper that is lightly oiled or onto your pizza stone. For a thin crust, bake immediately. For a medium-thick crust, allow the dough to rise for 30-60 minutes before baking.
Bake for 5 minutes and remove from oven. Place toppings as wished and place back in the oven for an additional 15 minutes or until browned.
