Instructions

1.	Combine warm water, yeast, pale lager beer, and sugar in a large bowl. Let it rest for 5 minutes until the yeast is activated.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While the pizza crust itself does not have significant health benefits, using whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend can add some extra nutrients to the dough. Pairing the pizza with healthy toppings like vegetables and lean protein can also make it a healthier option.
