Okay I don’t think beer in your dough is overpowered, but I think it’s worth a try. I was pleasantly surprised by how good this was. 16” NY style.
For this pie I substituted nearly all of the water in my standard recipe with Stella Artois, which gave it a noticeable beer flavor which I found really tasty. And maybe it made the crust a little crispier (?) Can’t say for sure. I don’t think it had any effect on the bubble structure of the dough.
The flavor difference is really noticeable though, so I may experiment with less beer. But then again, if I’m using a whole ~$1.66 bottle of Stella instead of water (free), I think I’ll want to taste it.
Here’s my 225 recipe adjusted for 1 bottle of Stella:
500 g green All Trumps flour
50 g sifted rye flour
1 bottle (320 g) Stella Artois
37 g water (65% hydration)
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp yeast
5 tsp salt
Makes 2 dough balls good for 16” NY style.
Baked on 3/4” aluminum plate, 550 convection ~6 minutes.

How long did you rest the dough for before you cooked it? Looks great!
It looks really good 😀 👍
I haven’t tried rye in my pizza dough yet but it sounds fantastic, and the beer sounds like it would go great with a bit of rye flavor. Trying this ASAP, for sure.
wow an aluminum baker. you guys are super rare.
Nice! Excellent idea
I will occasionally use the spent barley grain from when I brew beer to make a rough flour.
The flour gives bread a subtle earthy and sweet flavor.
I’m going to try combining it with the beer and make a pizza dough, for some reason I haven’t tried that yet.
Literally looks like perfection

How would other beers hold up you think? Stella is the absolute worst thing I’ve tasted, would rather suffer through an IPA. Think it’d work with other beers?
Hey, if you use less beer, there’s more to enjoy as you prep? 🤷🏻🍻
Looks great, can’t wait to try this!
Nice coloring on that pizza pie
fucking spectacular
need a video for how this was made
Whoa, that looks like a fkn good pie.
Crazy that this is same day dough! Pizza looks great. Any chance you could show stretching technique at some point?
I’m down
