Special Doughs #3: Pimp Your Dough

The love for pizza and the willingness to experiment with this versatile dish unite us all. But sometimes, you want to try something new and look for an idea on how to bring a little change to the meal with small details. You must try these ideas for altered pizza dough.

If you replace part of the water or even the entire amount of water in your pizza dough with beer, the dough will have a heartier taste. Whether you prefer malt beer, wheat beer, or pilsner is up to your taste. 

If you replace up to 20% of your flour with Italian semolina, which is fine semolina, your dough will be crispier than usual. Give it a try and let it crunch with the first bite.

You'll achieve exactly the opposite if you add olive oil to your pizza dough. This makes the dough softer and more pliable.
