Make this easy beer pizza dough in the bread machine on the dough setting. Also included below the recipe are some instructions making it with a stand mixer.

Top the pizza with your favorite store-bought or homemade pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese. 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup beer (room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients. 

  2. Put all ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer. Set it on the dough cycle. When the cycle ends, remove dough and roll it out to fit your lightly greased pizza pan(s). Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes longer. Top with your choice of sauce, toppings, and cheese.

  3. Bake in a preheated 425 F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the crust and the toppings.

This recipe makes enough dough for a 14- to 16-inch pizza, two 10-inch pizzas, or two thin crust 12-inch pizzas.

Tips

  • To make the dough with your stand mixer and dough hook or by hand, mix and knead it for about 10 minutes, and then let it rise for about 30 minutes to an hour or until doubled. Remove it and roll it to fit your pizza pan and proceed with the recipe.
  • Use the dough to make pizza pockets or calzones.

 Recipe Variation

  • Beer and Basil Pizza Dough–Add about 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried leaf basil along with the flour.
