Dough ingredients
1 cup hot water
1 cup milk
1 cup Ponce's Pale Ale
4 cups flour
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1½ Tbsp. salt
1½ Tbsp. dry yeast
Topping Ingredients
½ cup pizza sauce
½ cup shredded parmesan
½ cup shredded mozzarella (can you fresh if desired)
½ cup heirloom cherry tomatoes cut in half
½ cup fresh arugula
Salt & pepper to taste
Preparations
Preheat the oven to 450° F
In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until dissolved about 10 minutes. Stir in flour, salt, olive oil, and Ponce's Pale Ale until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan.
Add pizza sauce onto the center of the pizza and use the back of the spoon to spread sauce almost to the edge (leave about a ¼ inch). Sprinkle cheese and tomatoes on top and bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove and add arugula, salt, and pepper. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
