Bread Machine Beer Pizza Dough

We like pizza around here. We try to make it ourselves when we can. I am not sure where we found this recipe, but it has served us well.

Ingredients
1 cup flat, room temperature beer (I usually pour the beer in a measuring cup and let sit most of the day)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons yeast
 
Directions
1. Put beer, butter, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast in a bread machine (in that order). 
2. Select Dough setting for 1.5lbs size
3. Remove dough from bread machine when cycle is complete. 
4. Roll or press dough to cover a prepared pizza pan. Brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter (with Garlic powder and Parmesan cheese mixed in.)
5. Cover and let stand 15 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
7. Spread sauce and toppings on top of dough. 
8. Bake until crust is lightly brown and crispy on the outside, about 24 minutes.

The Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat works well for this recipe.

All the ingredients in the bread machine. Including tons of Garlic Powder.

What I Ate Wednesday: Week 10

Breakfast

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal made with Milk and Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links

Lunch

Leftover Manzana's Chicken Tender Hoagie from Joshua's Birthday Lunch, Carrots, Ranch, and Waffle Fries

Dinner

Manzana's Ham and Cheese Grinder. We had a Preschool Board Meeting after the Church Council meeting in which half the Preschool Board also sits on, so we decided to make it a dinner meeting. You will notice half of it mysteriously disappeared before I took the picture. Weird...

Dessert
An Apple Fritter that disappeared so fast I didn't get a picture of it. It was the dessert requested for Joshua's Birthday.
