Pizza is a beloved Italian dish that has been popularized all over the world. Mauro's Italian Pizza Dough recipe is an authentic take on the classic pizza crust that is used in Italy. The yeast and beer in this recipe give the crust a unique flavor and texture, while the dough itself is easy to work with and yields pizza crusts that are crispy and chewy. This dough recipe is perfect for making thin crust pizzas and experimenting with a variety of toppings.
