Small Batch Beer Dough
Author: 
Recipe type: Dough
 
This is a small-batch recipe that will yield you enough dough for 2 pizzas for experimentation purposes only. If you want to go to a larger batch using, say, 20 pounds of flour, you would replace 3 cups of water with beer and scale up your other ingredients as well.
Ingredients
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2½ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 cups flour
  • ¼ cup pale lager beer
  • 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, beer and sugar.
  2. Stir to combine, then let stand for 10 minutes.
  3. Add 2¾ cups of flour and salt to the yeast mixture and blend, incorporating as much of the remaining ¼ cup of flour as necessary to prevent the dough from sticking.
  4. Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough evenly and form into two balls.
  6. Dust lightly with flour, then cover to proof overnight.
  7. Allow 2 hours out of the cooler for proofing the next day before making pizzas.
