This Beer Pizza Dough is quick to prepare and adds great flavor to any pizza creation! Season it with your choice of toppings and forget going out!
A few months back, I decided to start using my bread machine more. Since then, I have made everything from rolls, to bread, to cinnamon rolls, and more!
Recently, I decided to attempt making pizza dough. I have tried my hand at making several types in the past, and all have turned out mediocre. They haven’t been “bad”, but they certainly weren’t a favorite. I was reading a magazine a few weeks back and it talked about using beer in pizza to add an extra boost of flavor. I was quite curious as to how it would taste and let me tell ya, it’s amazing!!
My hubby and I both went crazy over it and his exact words were “you could make this every week and I wouldn’t get tired of it”, hehe! Not only did it take me no time to put it together, but my bread machine did most of the work!
The beer added a boost of flavor, yet it wasn’t too strong. Even my kiddos loved it!! Whether you do “Pizza Friday” or are just in the mood to make a yummy pizza dough, this recipe is a must try! This will make one large pizza, or two personal sized pizzas!!

try the dough as bread with spaghetti just let rise put into a lightly oiled, sprinkled with corn meal pie plate. Add a little sauce slather on top & sprinkle with a few Italian spices & Parmesan even some mozzarella! Bakes about 20 minutes at 375 should be golden like bread! I have done with Chili too using Mexican mix cheese! Love the moisture & course texture!

I love this idea! Thanks for the tip, I will definitely try that!

Dough will rise during the dough cycle. Should you have it rise a second time when the dough cycle is finished?

You don’t “have” to, but I have found that it helps the dough become even fluffier once cooked!
