1 cup warm (110 degrees to 120 degrees) beer ( i used 312 and it was awesome)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/2 ounces fresh yeast
2 3/4 to 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk to combine beer, 2 tablespoons olive oil, sugar, salt, and yeast. Fit bowl on electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix until incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add flour, and mix until dough is fairly stiff, about 10 minutes.

On a lightly floured work surface, knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Brush the inside of a large bowl with remaining tablespoon olive oil; transfer dough to bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and leave in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.

Punch down dough, and transfer to a clean surface. Divide dough into balls (I did 4). Again on a lightly floured surface roll out dough into thin circles. Transfer to pizza pan or pie pan. Top with pizza sauce, ingredients of your choice and cheese. Bake in 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes (or more depending on how cooked you like it!)
