A fantastic, easy-to-make pizza dough. For the beer, use whichever kind you like drinking with pizza. I like Sam Adams '76, but don't take my word for it; experiment!

Preparation

  1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2 mins

    Pour beer into a saucepan and heat to ~100°F. Add the active dry yeast to the warm beer, mix, and let sit for a few minutes to wake up.

  3. 5 mins

    Combine the flours, sugar, and salt and mix together. Add the beer/yeast mixture and mix thoroughly until fully combined, and a shaggy dough forms.

  4. 2 mins

    Put onto a lightly floured work surface, and knead for ~2 minutes to remove any clumps.

  5. 1 day

    Coat the inside of a large bowl with the olive oil, and add the dough and cover with plastic wrap. Let proof for a day, until it doubles in size.

  6. Remove dough from bowl onto a lightly floured surface, and stretch and fold in on itself until it forms a ball. Divide into 4 equal portions.

  7. 3 days

    optional

    Cover the individual dough rounds and refrigerate for 3-7 days to cold ferment. The longer it is in the fridge, the more the flavor will develop.

  8. Make pizza!

Notes

You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months before or after the cold ferment.
