Equipment

  • 1 large sheet pan
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 small saucepan

Ingredients

Pizza dough

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour plus more for kneading
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 12 ounces beer of your choice

Base Layer

  • ¾ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 shallots sliced thin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • pinch of salt

Toppings

  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 mozzarella ball sliced
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • large pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Prepare the dough. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast and salt. Then add the olive oil and beer. Mix together until combined - it will be decently wet. cover with a hand towel and let sit for about one hour.
    3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp instant yeast, 2 tsp salt, 12 ounces beer, 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Remove the towel and sprinkle in about an extra ¼ cup of flour into the bowl. With your hands, knead the dough and keep adding flour 1 tbsp at a time until it is no longer super sticky but soft and pliable.
  • Flour your work surface and your rolling pin to prevent sticking. Place your dough on the surface and roll out the dough into a long rectangular shape that will fit on your sheet pan. Keep the dough thick enough that you can transfer it to your pan without tearing.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Then start the toppings. To make the base, combine the ricotta, garlic, a pinch of salt and two tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl. Stir together and then spoon the mixture onto the pizza into one smooth layer. Leave a border around the edges for the crust.
    ¾ cup whole milk ricotta cheese, 5 garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, pinch of salt
  • Top the pizza with the sliced shallots, followed by the spinach. Add the mozzarella slices on top. Top with red pepper flakes if you wish.
    3 shallots, 2 cups spinach, 1 mozzarella ball
  • Place the pizza in the oven to bake for 15 minutes. The mozzarella should look slightly golden brown and the crust should be firm and crispy. If the crust is still squishy, bake for 3-5 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Add the honey, apple cider vinegar and red pepper flakes to a saucepan and heat over medium. Let the honey bubble for about a minute. Then remove from the heat and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Then drizzle over the pizza while it's still warm.
