Ingredients

Dough

4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast (2 packets)
1 teaspoon sugar
⅓ cup lukewarm water
4 cups plain (all-purpose) flour, plus extra for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups beer (vegetarian, if needed)

To Finish

Pizza sauce for spreading
Grated cheese and toppings of your choice
2 limes sliced

How to make it

Activate the yeast
Stir the yeast and sugar into the lukewarm water in a small bowl and leave for 10 minutes, until frothy.
Mix the dough
Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl, then pour in the beer and the yeast mixture. Stir until it comes together, switching to your hands as it stiffens; it will be very sticky.
Let it rise
Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and leave it somewhere warm for 30 minutes, until doubled in size.
Shape the bases
Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface, knock it back with floured hands and divide it into 4. Work each piece with extra flour until stretchy, then roll it into an 8–10 inch round on baking parchment.
Top and bake
Spread with pizza sauce, add cheese and toppings and bake on trays at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, until the crust is crisp and the cheese browned. Serve with the lime slices for squeezing over.

The Richberry difference

A naturally brighter taste

Miraculin, the protein in the miracle berry, can make sour flavours taste sweeter for a while. The food itself stays the same; only your taste changes.
