	Pizza 08

		Pizza 28 oz can crushed tomatoes 2 oz marsala cooking wine 1 Tbsp each thyme and basil a pinch of crushed red pepper Start the sauce on medium heat until it has simmered for about 10 minutes; turn down heat to low and stir periodically. Preheat the oven to 400F (See below). You may want to scoop liquid off the top a couple of times. Crust 12 oz bottle porter beer 1 Tbsp yeast 2 Tbsp sugar a pinch salt 2 Tbsp olive oil 4 1/4 -4 1/3 cups bread flour First, warm the beer to a bit above room temp. I stick it in the microwave for about a minute. Pour beer into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle the yeast over it, followed by the sugar (this sequence allows for a shorter and faster rise). Add the other ingredients, mix and knead, then cover and allow to rise for 45 minutes. Toppings 8-10 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped and baked 25-30 kalamata olives, pitted and cut in half a small can of artichoke hearts, chopped Feta cheese to taste 10-12 oz grated mozzarella cheese Bake garlic for 25 minutes at 400F. When the dough is done rising, roll it out on an ungreased double layer cookie sheet (this in my experience works as well as a pizza stone.) I try to roll it out to 14" or so. Shape the crust, add the sauce, then most of the mozzarella, then the ingredients, the rest of the mozzarella, and bake at 400F for 22-25 minutes. This in my opinion is a fine gourmet meal worthy of fine wine, or beer as you prefer :)
