Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

PIZZA DOUGH:

  • ¼ cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees)

  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 4 cups bread flour

  • 2 tablespoons Italian-style seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided

  • 1 ¼ cups flat beer

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

PIZZA SAUCE:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • ⅓ cup chopped onion

  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic

  • 1 (28 ounce) can roma tomatoes, with juice

  • 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

  2. In a food processor, combine flour, Italian seasoning and salt. Pulse until mixed. Add yeast mixture, flat beer and oil. Pulse until a ball is formed. Scrape dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for several minutes until dough is smooth and elastic. Allow dough to rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Divide dough in half, and shape into balls. Place dough balls in separate bowls, and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise at room temperature for about 1 hour, then store in the refrigerate overnight.

  3. To make the sauce: Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute onions until tender. Stir in garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Crush tomatoes into saucepan. Add tomato paste, basil, parsley and oregano. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Notes

If you have a bread machine, just mix on Dough setting, then remove and let rise after it kneads and rests.

The dough can be frozen in plastic freezer bags in one-crust portions. Important: Thaw in the refrigerator.
