Instructions
Garlic Infused Oil
Step #2 - Slice garlic place in a bowl and cover with Olive Oil. Allow to sit a couple of hours before using. We'll use this to brush on the pizza dough before cooking, it'll give the crust some nice flavor. This will make more than enough for several pizzas. What you don't use, stick in the refrigerator to use at a later date. You can use it on more than just pizzas and it'll get better over time.
Pizza Dough
Step #4 - Pour beer into measure cup and leave out, allowing to reach room temperature.
Step #5 - In mixing bowl, add flour, yeast and salt. Optionally you can add in a little sugar or honey, if you like a sweeter, darker crust.
Step #6 - Add dough hook to mixer and turn on, setting speed to slow. Pour in warm beer. Allow to come together on low setting for a few minutes, then turn speed up to medium. Starting out on a higher setting might sling flour everywhere. Use a spatula to scrap down the sides of the mixing bowl.
Step #7 - Run on medium for 5-7 minutes. Dough should be supple yet firm. If it's too firm, add a little more water or beer. If it's to loose, add a little more flour.
If you don't have a mixer, you can incorporate by hand. Turn out onto a well flour surface to knead by hand.
Step #8 - Once all the ingredients are incorporated and dough is formed, drizzle with a little olive oil.
Step #9 - Spray inside of bowl with cooking oil spray.
Step #10 - Transfer dough to bowl.
Step #11 - Cover bowl with moist towel and allow to rest for 2 hours in a warm spot, it should double in size. Turn dough out onto well-floured surface and form into round loaf like shape.
Step #12 - Then cover and let sit for another 20 to 30 minutes. I like to wrap mine in plastic wrap.
Step #13 - After 20 to 30 minutes, it should be ready to use.
Bechamel Sauce
Step #15 - Pour 1 1/2 cup of heavy cream into measuring cup and leave out so it can reach room temperature. In a small sauce pan on medium heat, add butter. Allow butter to melt, then add flour, using a whisk to combine.
Step #16 - Let the flour brown for a minute.
Step #17 - Pour in Heavy Cream
Step #18 - Season with salt and pepper.
Step #19 - Whisk until it starts to thicken, then remove from heat.
Optionally, you could add a little shredded cheese to this sauce at this point to make it even more cheesy, but I am not doing this here because I'll be using this sauce to make a couple different pizzas with different cheeses.
Quail, Sage and Mushroom Pizza
Step #21 - Add skillet to stove top, setting heat to medium high. Add strips of bacon and cook until crispy.
Step #22 - Remove bacon to plate lined with paper towels. When cool, crumble bacon.
Step #23 - Season quail breast with salt and pepper.
Step #24 - Drain extra bacon grease from skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
Step #25 - Add quail to hot skillet.
Step #26 - Cook for a few minutes until slightly browned, then flip.
Step #27 - Don't cook the quail all the way through, it'll finish off in the pizza oven. Remove the quail to plate. Allowing to cool, then shred.
Step #28 - Slice and wash Mushrooms.
Step #29 - In a separate skillet, add 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil, setting heat to medium. Add mushrooms to hot skillet, cooking for 5-8 minutes
Step #30 - Once mushrooms are browned, turn off heat, and season with kosher salt then remove to plate.
Step #31 - Start pizza oven, or conventional oven and allow to reach 450-500 degrees
Step #32 - Punch dough down and form into roundish pizza shape, it doesn't have to be perfect.
Step #33 - Cover a small baking sheet or pizza peel with corn meal, these will be the marbles that allow the pizza to slide off into pizza oven. If you're using a conventional oven instead, preheat your oven with pizza stone already in oven. Prepare your pizza the same way, before sliding it off onto hot pizza stone.
Step #34 - Move the pizza dough to the pizza peel. I'm using an upside down baking sheet, covered in corn meal. It'll allow the pizza to slide right off and into the oven.
Step #35 - Brush pizza crust with Garlic Infused Olive Oil
Step #36 - Spoon on some of the Bechamel Sauce and spread sauce evenly with spatula
Step #37 - Sprinkle with pepper.
Step #38 - Grate your cheeses if it's not already shredded.
Step #39 - Sprinkle on some of the shredded Munster Cheese.
Step #40 - Add shredded piece of quail meat, crispy bacon bits, mushrooms. Tear sage into small pieces and spread out over pizza.
Step #41 - Finally sprinkle top with a little Mozzarella cheese.
Step #42 - Place in pizza oven and cook for 8 minutes, turning frequently.
Step #43 - Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Step #44 - Slice and enjoy!
