3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. honey
1 bottle of beer (at room temperature)
1 tbsp. olive oil

The easiest way to make pizza dough is in a food processor. Start by putting the dry ingredients, including the flour, baking powder and salt into the food processor. Pulse a few times to stir the ingredients.

Add the honey, then start the food processor. Gradually add the beer until the bottle is empty. You will know the dough is done when it pulls away from the side of the food processor.

Remove the dough from the food processor and put it atop a cutting board that has been lightly dusted with flour. Knead the dough for a minute or so until it is supple. If the dough is sticky, add some additional flour and knead for a few seconds more.

Take a large bowl and drizzle in a tablespoon of olive oil. Roll the dough around in the oil to coat it. (This will prevent it from sticking to the bowl.) Cover with a towel and let the dough rise for 1-2 hours.

After the dough has finished rising, you may remove it from the bowl and cut it in half if you are going to make 2 thin-crust pizzas. If you are going to make a Chicago deep-dish pizza, you will use all the dough for 1 pie.

Form the dough into a ball, before rolling it into a flat disk with a rolling pin. Pick up the dough disk and stretch it by hand until it is 15-18 inches across. (Use the back of your knuckles to stretch the dough.) Top the pie with sauce, your favorite toppings and Mozzarella cheese.

Pop the pie into a 450°F oven for 12 to 15-minutes. (You can also cook pizza on a barbecue or gas grill.)

Slice and serve.
