Best Beer Pizza Recipes

BEER PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat 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.
• Spread a handful of flour on your work surface and dump the dough onto it.
• Tiss the dough around to coat it with flour and prevent it from sticking.
• Knead it 2 or 3 times to make it pliable.
• Shape the dough into a ball and divide it in two if you are making 2 thin crust pizzas.
• For a deep dish pie do not divide.
• Grease your pizza pan with oil and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a circle.
• Brush crust with olive oil lightly and then add your sauce and toppings.
• Bake for 12- 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.

CARAMELIZED ONION, WALNUT, AND GOAT CHEESE PIZZA WITH A BEER CRUST

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet or stockpot over medium heat. Add the onions and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Toss to coat well, then cover the pan. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the onions are very soft and are caramel brown all over. After the first 10 minutes or so of cooking, you will have to lower the heat to prevent sticking. The onions need to be cooked slowly over low heat in order to caramelize properly; this will take about 45 minutes. By cooking them covered, you can use less oil to achieve this. Remove the cover from the pan, then add the walnuts. Cook 5 minutes, tossing frequently. Remove the onions from the heat and let cool.
• To make the crust, 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. Spread a handful of flour on your work surface and dump the dough onto it. Toss the dough around to coat it with the flour and prevent it from sticking. Knead it 2 or 3 times to make it pliable. Shape the dough into a ball, then divide it in two.
• Grease 2 baking sheets. Use a rolling pin to roll each ball into an 11 or 12 inch circle. Spread half the onion mixture onto each pizza. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese all over each pizza. I like to cook one pizza at a time, but you can cook the pizzas on 2 different oven racks and alternate them halfway through the cooking. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top or underneath

QUICK BEER PIZZA DOUGH

• Preheat the oven to 500F with a pizza stone (if you are using one) on a lower rack.
• Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a 10" to 12" round.
• Place the rounds on parchment paper, if you're going to use a pizza stone. Or place the dough on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Transfer the pizzas, parchment and all to the baking stone. Or place the pans in the oven. Bake for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven, top as desired, and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the bottom crust is crisp and the cheese is bubbly and browned.
• Remove from the oven, and serve hot.

BREAD MACHINE PIZZA DOUGH WITH BEER RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Flatten the beer by letting it stand for 4-6 hours, or by pouring it back and forth between containers until all the bubbles are gone. Put all ingredients into the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer (the order given here is for the Zojirushi machine). Select the "Dough" cycle. When the cycle is completed (about 90 minutes for the Zojirushi), preheat the oven to 400 degrees, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and choose a shaping method (below): • for thick-crust pizza: with lightly floured hands, press the dough into a greased 12-inch pizza pan, forming a high edge. Brush the crust with oil, cover the dough with a clean towel, and let stand for 15 minutes. Spoon tomato or pizza sauce over the dough, top with desired toppings, and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden. • for thin-crust pizza: with lightly floured hands, shape the dough into a ball, then divide it in half. Press each half into a greased 12-inch pizza pan, forming a 1-inch edge. Brush the crust with oil, cover with a clean towel, and let stand for 15 minutes. Spoon tomato or pizza sauce over the dough, top with desired toppings, and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden. VARIATIONS For CRUSTY ROLLS: on a lightly floured surface, shape dough into a ball; divide into quarters; cut each quarter into 4 pieces. Shape each piece into a flattened oval. Place the rolls 3-inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Slash tops of rolls with a sharp knife. Brush lightly with oil if desired, then cover with a clean cloth and let rest for 15 minutes. Bake 20-24 minutes. For SOFT PRETZELS: On a lightly floured surface, shape dough into a ball; divide into quarters. Cut each quarter into 3 pieces. Roll each piece between palms of hands to make 10-inch ropes. Bring the ends of a rope together to make a circle; twist the bottom 3 inches of each end together; fold back across opposite side of circle. Tuck dough ends under circle. Brush the pretzels with an egg glaze (1 beaten egg with 1 Tablespoon of water), and sprinkle with coarse salt. For softer pretzels, let the dough rest for 15 minutes. Bake 18 to 25 minutes. Makes 12 pretzels.

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the pepperoni and bacon until evenly browned. Mix in the mushrooms, onion, and green pepper. Cook and stir about 5 minutes, until tender.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix the ingredients from the skillet with the tomato sauce and beer. Season with garlic, oregano, thyme, and salt. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15 minutes, until slightly thickened. Spread over the 2 pizza crusts, and top with cheese.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.

BEER DRINKERS' PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap garlic in a piece of parchment-lined foil. Roast until soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool, and squeeze cloves to remove pulp.
• In a medium bowl, stir to combine roasted garlic, tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, oregano, and basil. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• On a pizza peel dusted with flour, place one-quarter of the dough. Using your fingers, begin to flatten and push dough evenly out from center until it measures about 12 inches in diameter. Crimp edges to form a rim. Sprinkle one-quarter of the mozzarella onto dough. Spoon 1/2 cup of the tomato mixture over mozzarella.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. When very hot but not smoking, reduce heat to low. Lift pizza peel and, using a slight jerking motion, slide pizza about one inch back and forth on the peel to loosen it. Slightly tilt the peel, and slide the pizza off the peel, centering it in the skillet. Cover skillet, and cook until pizza is golden on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

• Preheat over 425*.
• Spray Pam on two pizza pans.
• Place each portion in the pan. Oil your fingers and press the dough from the middle out until the pan is covered. Don't worry if it looks a little uneven, that is ok. If you want to prick with a fork you may.

• Mix all dry ingredients. Slowly add in beer and yeast mixture. Combine all ingredients.
• Kneed dough on a cutting board or countertop for approximatley 8-10 minutes. Use flour on the counter top and your hands to ensure it doesn't stick. The dough is ready when it's elastic and you can see little bubbles in it.
• Place dough in a bowl (spray first with non-stick spray) and cover with a dish towel. Place somewhere warm (I use the oven preheated to about 200F and then cooled off). Let rise for about 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• Roll out dough using a rolling pin. Top with whatever you like!
• Bake in 475F preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. If using a pizza stone, make sure you preheat the stone in the oven.
• When the crust is brown and the cheese is browning, remove from the oven and let pizza stand for a few minutes. This will allow the cheese to solidify and make it easier to cut.

BUFFALO BLEU CHEESE BEER BREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• It took maybe 10 min total to prepare and 40 to bake. I use a hodge-podge of kitchen cookware but the outcome is fabulous! I lightly salted with Tastefully Simple's Seasoned Salt© 2 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts in the Pampered Chef Deep Covered Baker© cover in water and microwave on high for 10 minutes. While that was cooking, I opened a bottle of beer, took two large swigs and poured it and the Tastefully Simple Beer Bread mix© into a bowl and mixed. When the chicken is done drain it and shred it. Lightly spray the pizza sheet with pam. Dump the beer bread dough on the pizza pan and grease your hands, yes I said hands and spread the dough around leaving some room for it to grow. Spread enough Chunky Blue Cheese Salad dressing as you would like (sub ranch if you don't like Blue Cheese) Drizzle shredded chicken and top with favorite wing sauce. Bake @ 400 for 40-ish minutes. I say when it smells like pizza it's done. Your Welcome :)
