Ingredients (Makes 6–8 small flatbread pizzas or 24 bites)

Beer Flatbread Dough

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
• ¾ cup beer (lager, pale ale, or wheat — bubbly, not bitter)
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Toppings (Choose Your Combo)

• Shredded mozzarella or provolone
• Pizza sauce, garlic oil, or pesto
• Pepperoni, sausage, roasted veggies, mushrooms, jalapeños, olives
• Fresh basil, crushed red pepper, parmesan, or hot honey to finish

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

1. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder.
2. Add beer and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead lightly for 1–2 minutes just until smooth. Dough should be soft, not sticky.
4. Cover and let rest while you prep your toppings (no rise needed).

Step 2: Roll and Cut

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. Divide dough into small portions and roll or press into mini ovals or circles (¼-inch thick).
3. For bite-size pieces, cut rolled dough into squares or rounds.

Step 3: Top and Bake

1. Place flatbreads on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
2. Spread lightly with sauce or oil, add cheese, then toppings.
3. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

1. Top with fresh herbs, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of olive oil or hot honey.
2. Serve hot with cold beer and plenty of napkins.

Flavor Variations

🍄 Mushroom & Thyme

• Garlic oil base, sautéed mushrooms, mozzarella, and fresh thyme

🧄 White Flatbread

• Olive oil, minced garlic, ricotta, mozzarella, spinach, and chili flakes

🌶 BBQ Beer Brisket

• BBQ sauce, cheddar, pulled brisket, red onion, and jalapeños

🧀 Pretzel Crust

• Add 1 tsp baking soda to the dough and brush with butter + coarse salt before baking

Beer Pairing

In the Dough

• Pale ale, kölsch, wheat beer, or lager — light and bubbly for rise
• Avoid overly hoppy IPAs or stouts — they’ll make the dough bitter or heavy

In Your Glass

• Same beer used in the dough
• Amber ale or saison for cheese-forward combos
• Helles, witbier, or pilsner for spicy or veggie toppings

Final Thoughts

Beer Flatbread Pizza Bites are crispy-edged, quick to make, and impossible to stop eating — the kind of easy recipe you’ll use for game nights, beer pairings, or anytime the craving hits. With beer in the dough and your favorite toppings on top, they hit every time.

Mini pies. Big flavor. Beer in the crust and cold in the glass. 🍕🍺🔥
