Sam Adams Beer Pizza Dough
Sam Adams Beer Pizza Dough is a homemade pizza dough with Boston lager and a touch of honey. This is my ride or die, best ever pizza dough recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz) Sam Adams Boston Boston Lager beer
- 1 (¼ oz) packet Rapid-Rise yeast or active-dry yeast
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3-¾ cups '00' pizza flour 493 grams (see Notes)
- 1 Tbsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Sit the beer in a bowl full of hot tap water 5-10 minutes to warm.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add the beer and yeast. Proof 2 minutes (5 minutes if using active dry yeast).
- Add the honey and olive oil. With the mixer running on "stir", add the flour and salt. Knead the dough 10 minutes.
- Cover the bowl with a double layer damp paper towels and put in a warm place for the dough to rise until doubled, 1-½ to 2 hours.
- Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 portions. Knead each 10 times to get it good and elastic.
- Put the pizza stone in the oven, and heat oven to 450°F. Heat another 15 minutes to ensure the pizza stone is fully heated. While the oven is heating, the dough will rise a bit more.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out one piece of dough into a 12- to 14-inch round. Move dough to the pizza stone and add toppings.
- Reduce oven temperature to 425°F and bake for 10-12 minutes until crust is cooked through. Yields dough for 2 pizzas.
Notes
'00' pizza flour makes for a smoother, more elastic pizza dough so it is preferred but I have make this dough many times with all-purpose flour or bread flour as well.
