Beer Cheese Pizza with Polish Sausage

Beer Cheese Pizza with Polish Sausage

Pizza Sauce

2 Cans Tomato Sauce

1 Can Tomato Paste

3 Chopped Roma Tomatoes, blanch and remove skin before chopping 

1 Tbs Sugar

1/2 Tsp Salt

1 Large Bay Leaf

1/2 - 2/3 12-oz bottle of desired beer (I used Upland Dragonfly)

*If you like sauce sweeter, use more sugar. If you like it saltier, add more salt (carefully a pinch at a time)

Combine ingredients and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Let cool.

Crust

2 Cups White Flour

1 Tsp Sugar

1/2 Tsp Salt

1 Tsp Dried Basil

Pinch or Two Garlic Powder

2/3 Cup Hot Water

3 Tbs Vegetable Oil

Packet of Pizza Yeast

Corn Meal

Mix crust ingredients in a bowl and mix with hands until dough is formed into a large bowl. On a floured surface, roll out pizza dough until desired shape/thickness.

On a greased pizza/baking pan, sprinkle corn meal over the pan. Then lay out your dough, making sure the edges are rolled over and trimmed.

Bake at 450 for 5 minutes and remove from oven.

Toppings

Sliced and Sautéed Polish Sausage/Kilbasa, simmered in remaining beer

Sautéed Chopped Red Onion

Sautéed Chopped Red Pepper

Sautéed Small, Chopped Garlic Clove

1 Cup White Cheddar Cheese

1 Cup Yellow Cheddar Cheese

Assembly

Once pizza dough is baked for 5 minutes at 450, remove from oven and spread cooled beer pizza sauce evenly. Then, sprinkle sautéed veggies evenly. Top with a mixture of white and yellow cheddar cheese. Top with beer-simmered Polish sausage.

Bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is browned. 

Remove, cool for 5 minutes, slice and enjoy!
