Northwoods pizza

[Dirts]

In Kitchen Aid mixer

1 bottle of warm beer (Honey weis or german pilsner)
1 tsp yeast
2 Tbsp Canola oil
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp butter
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
4 cups bread or high gluten flour.

Turn on mixer and knead for 10 minutes.
Put in a greased bowl.  I make it the day before.
I usually make an 18" and a smaller one with this amount of dough.

Seperate dough and let sit for 15 minutes to relax dough so you can spread it out on the pan.
My pans were solid so I drilled 1/8 inch holes all through it to get a crispier dough.

I preheat the oven to 500 degrees.  Dock the dough on the pan with a fork and then slide it into the oven and pre cook until it just starts to brown. I just keep an eye on it.
Take it out and brush with melted butter. Then spread on the sauce.
For the sauce we like to cut up Roma tomatoes or drain whole canned tomatoes and break them up and push all the water out.  We then add lots of fennel seed, basil, some oregano and fresh garlic.
Spread it out onto crust and add Mozz cheese.  Don't get low grade cheese unless you can avoid it.  Get it from a cheese maker or pizza place.  You want it so it drapes strings when you pick up your first slice.  Then I add my mushrooms and pre cooked bulk italian sausage.  Then I sprinkle with Parmesian cheese and drizzle with olive oil.
I then put it in the oven and watch it so the crust does not burn and then I turn on the broiler and turn it so the cheese starts turning brown.  Take it out and enjoy.

When I make this I fuel myself with a bottle of Marietta Cellars California Old Vine Red.
Enjoy.
