Caprese Pizza with Garlic Herb Crust

Step 1

Stir flour, oregano, yeast, garlic powder, salt, and onion powder in a large bowl.

Step 2

Pour in beer and grapeseed oil and mix until uniform dough forms. (It's better for the dough to be slightly sticky than dry.)

Step 3

Cover the dough and let it rest on the countertop 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 4

Once doubled in size, transfer the dough to a floured surface and divide into two equal pieces. Use the dough immediately, or wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit with the pizza stone inside, if using.

Step 6

Roll out one portion of pizza dough on a floured work surface to a 12-inch diameter.

Step 7

Once the oven is preheated, remove the pizza stone and lay the pizza dough on top. (If you don't have a pizza stone, use a baking sheet instead.)

Step 8

Spread tomato sauce evenly on the dough, leaving a half-inch of space around the edges for the crust. Arrange tomatoes and mozzarella slices on top of the tomato sauce and transfer the pizza to the oven. Bake 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and spread fresh basil on top. Cut into pieces and serve with crushed red pepper if desired.
