fall harvest pizza

I love veggie pizza and this utilizes some of the best fall vegetables AND the best fall beer - pumpkin beer - is used to make the crust! :)

Blue Ribbon Recipe

I've never made a pizza crust with beer before so I was a little leery about how it would turn out. It was quite delicious! Since the dough doesn't need to rise, you can easily throw this together for dinner. This makes a thinner crust but still has a nice chewiness to it. The sauce has a nice flavor and all the vegetables pair well together.
