1

DAY BEFORE COOKING: Combine all dry ingredients for crust in medium sized mixing bowl. Add beer and water. Mix into course dough. Cover with plastic wrap and leave out to rise overnight, or at least 8 hours.
2

For salsa, begin with setting broiler on high.
3

Place serranos and tomatillos on baking sheet 4 inches under broiler. Cook until each is soft, splotchy and blackened - about 5 minutes on each side. Color will turn from vibrant green to an olive hue. Remove from broiler to cool.
4

Place roasted serranos and tomatillos in food processor. Add remaining salsa ingredients. Process til coarse or desired consistency.
5

Preheat oven to 500°F.

Bake on center rack until golden brown - about 20 mintues.

Top with garnish and serve. A side of light sour cream for dipping is yummy. :)
