We are baking flat breads with yeast for this month’s Bread Bakers. Our host for this month, Sonia Gupta (Sonilicious) wanted us to get creative and bake a single-layered or double-layered flat bread that is leavened with yeast. To be honest, there were way too many options to choose from but since pizza is always a hit with my family, I made this Quick Beer Crust Pizza.As with any baking recipe, I went to King Arthur flour for flat bread recipes. There were a ton of recipes that I really wanted to try, but I chose this beer crust pizza in the end. My husband bought a case of beer from Costco for a dinner party couple of months ago and still had a few in the fridge. So I thought this would be the best chance to use one.The best part about this beer crust pizza is that it needs only 30 minutes of rising time. If you have time, then you can allow the dough to rise for up to 2 hours. You can make thin, medium or thick crust pizza, just let the dough rise for the second time,if you want thicker crust.I don’t drink beer and so I was worried if the pizza would have a lingering alcohol taste. But I was pleasantly surprised that there was no tell-tale sign of beer. It adds a nice flavor and fragrance to the crust. I topped our pizza with pesto, zoodles (zucchini noodles, spinach and cheese). Do try this beer crust pizza recipe is you have a bottle of beer sitting in the fridge.
