Ingredients (for 6 pizzas):
9 cups (1000 grams) wheat flour
1/2 cube (20 grams) fresh yeast
1/2 cups (100 ml) water (lukewarm)
2 tbsp salt
1/2 cups (100 ml) olive oil
2 cups (0.5 l) Pilsner beer (lukewarm)
Sift the flour first for better results. Press a recess in the center of the flour. Mix in fresh yeast with 1/2 cup (100 ml) of water. Pour the yeast mix into the hollow in the flour and add a bit more flour then mix. Bubbles will form in approximately 5 minutes. Add olive oil and salt to the edge of the bowl. Add the beer and knead well by hand to make a supple dough. Add water if necessary and knead for another 5 to 10 minutes. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for one hour. The size of the dough should double. Knead the dough again quickly on a floured work surface. Divide the dough into 6 equal balls and leave covered with a damp cloth in a warm place for another hour.
