 1 cup flat beer (see note below)
 2 tbsp butter (chopped up)
 2 tbsp sugar
 1 tsp salt
 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
 1 package of active dry yeast
1

In the order listed above, add the ingredients to the baking pan, making sure to sprinkle the yeast on top of the flour.

2

Run the dough cycle on your bread machine.

3

After the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the pan and place it on a lightly floured surface.

4

Form the dough into a ball. For a thin crust pizza: divide the dough in half; press it into a 12-inch pizza pan. Otherwise, for a thicker crust, use the entire ball of dough and press into the pizza pan. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes.

5

Brush the pizza crust with olive oil. Add your favorite toppings and bake at 400 degrees F for 10-15 minutes for thin crust, or 20-25 minutes for thick crust. Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes:
  • To make the beer flat before adding to the bread machine baking pan, measure 1 cup into a large glass.  Stir vigorously and let it sit for a minute or two.  Repeat this a couple times until the beer starts to lose its foaminess.
  • For this recipe, I used Corona Extra and it came out great.  You can use whatever beer you like, keeping in mind it will influence the flavor of the pizza crust.
