Homemade Pizza

This is a great 1-hour pizza recipe I got from Brian Lagerstrom on YouTube (highly recommend checking out his videos). It goes from the mixing bowl to the oven in about an hour and makes 2 pizzas.

Steps
- 1
In a small saucepan, heat the beer over low heat until it's about 98 degrees - about 30 seconds to 1 minute (an instant read thermometer is nice to use for this). Remove from heat.
- 2
Using a sturdy spoon, mix all of the other dough ingredients in a medium bowl just until combined, and then continue stirring while you pour in the beer. Keep mixing for about 2 minutes until you get a decently-combined dough. It's fine if the dough is a bit loose/sandy at this point.
- 3
Lightly flour a cutting board, and dump the dough onto it. Combine the dough with your hands, and knead gently for about 3 minutes. Once you have a nicely-formed dough, split it into 2 equal pieces.
- 4
Roll each piece of dough into a roundish chunk. Dampen a light towel, and lay it over the dough. Let rest under the towel for 15 minutes.
- 5
Now you're ready to flatten the dough. Rip off 2 square pieces of parchment paper or wax paper (I prefer parchment paper, because it's wider). Pour a little olive oil on one side of each piece of parchment paper, and use your hand to spread it edge to edge.
- 6
Sandwich one of the dough balls between the paper with the olive oil toward the dough. Use your hands to flatten it a bit, and then use a rolling pin to roll it out into a 12-14 inch pizza crust, turning as you roll so that you get a nice circle. You can use your fingers to push in any imperfections on the edge if you want to get picky about having a perfect circle.
- 7
Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other dough ball. Leave the crusts you just created sandwiched in the parchment paper for 30 minutes on the counter to let them rise slightly.
- 8
While the crust sits, preheat the oven to 500 degrees (with a pizza stone/steel inside if desired, but I just use a normal pizza pan), shred the cheese on the side of your grater with the biggest holes, and make the sauce: put all the sauce ingredients in a blender until well-combined, about 30 seconds. This is a double batch of sauce, so you can freeze the leftovers for your next pizza night.
- 9
Peel the top piece of parchment paper off each of the crusts. You'll leave the pizza laying on the bottom piece of parchment paper while it cooks.
- 10
Spread the sauce on the crusts as desired, going to about 1/4 inch from the edge of the crust, followed by the cheese and any other toppings.
- 11
Still on the parchment paper, put one of the pizzas in the oven on a pizza pan (or a pizza stone/steel if you preheated one with the oven).
- 12
Bake for about 7-8 minutes, or until the crust and cheese have browned to your liking. Repeat the cooking steps for the other pizza, and enjoy!
