This is an old pizza recipe I posted in 1999. I first made this some
time in the 1980's. It's a fairly thick crust Italian sausage pizza:

Beer Lover's Pizza

Crust:

1 c. beer, warmed to 110 degrees
4 Tbs. olive oil
1 Tbs. sugar
1-1/2 tsp. Salt
1 pkg. dry yeast
2-3/4 or a little more flour
2 Tbs. cornmeal

Combine yeast and beer in large mixing bowl along with 2 Tbs. oil,
sugar, salt & yeast. Add 1-1/2 c. flour and beat until smooth. Stir in
enough additional flour to make a stiff dough.

Turn onto floured board. Knead about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl
and turn until coated. Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled
(about 1 hour). Punch down.

Brush deep dish pizza pan with oil and sprinkle with cornmeal. Pat
dough into pan, pinching around the rim. Cover with a towel and let
rise 30 minutes. Proceed with sauce and toppings.

Sauce & Toppings:

6 oz. tomato paste
1/2 c. beer
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. fennel seed
1/2 tsp. sugar
3/4 lb. bulk Italian sausage, broken down finely
12 oz. shredded mozarella cheese
1/2 c. grated Parmesan

Combine tomato paste, beer, oregano, fennel and sugar. Cover dough
evenly with Mozarella cheese. Spoon sauce mixture over the top.
Sprinkle with Italian sausage, then top with Parmesan.

Bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes until crust is browned and the
meat is cooked.

It's been a long time since I made this. It was delicious.

HOWEVER... I think if I wanted a pizza these days it would be a simple
cheese pizza with a fairly thin crust. Not a bunch of ingredients or
complicated sauce. <shrug>

I'm simply not a huge fan of pizza. I'd rather make and eat a cheese
quesadilla. But that's just me.

I make my own from scratch too, but D is only interested in thick crust, ham
and pineapple with mozzarella !! I spread it with tom paste as a base
though.

I have made other kinds but when he asks for pizza, it is always that one,
so I don't bother with anything else now

I rarely eat pizza anyway so it doesn't bother me

I used to make ham and pineapple pizza years ago, and I had all but
forgottena about making it. I do like the taste, and have
occasionally ordered it at a pizzeria. It's not a combination I
would like to have frequently, however. As long as D is happy with
it, that's what counts. My David only likes pizza with a smear of
tomato sauce and a ton of mozzarella. I make one 15" pizza, half
with David's preference and half with mine. It was making a pizza
for supper tonight that prompted me to start this thread, as I was
really curious about what other posters preferred. Thanks, O!

Oddly enough, for as much as I like Mexican food, quesadillas are not a
favorite. I did try the way that Aaron Sanchez makes his. He uses a
crumbling cheese in the skillet instead of butter. Makes the outside very
crisp and the end result isn't greasy. So often when you get them in a
restaurant, they are greasy. His are pretty good but I'd still prefer a bean
taco.

I like to squeegee tomato paste on pizza dough with my fingers. A ham and pineapple pizza sounds like a great idea! I'm highly suggestible, especially when it comes to food. I'll have to make some dough - in a bag. Now.

I would never make or buy a ham and pineapple pizza. I do, however,
have a slice about once a year and enjoy it.

I like pepperoni or sausage and onion on mine, either made or bought.
Made is always better with blend of cheeses.

One slice a year? Amazing! I like pepperoni but it makes for one greasy slice. I use whatever cheese I got on hand. I don't have anything against American cheese but that won't fly on a pizza.

I like anchovy, green peppers, and 'shrooms.... um, double anchovy...
can even omit the green peppers and 'shrooms.

I just finished eating a package of dates with nuts (uhhh - 2
separate packages). Very tasty and I enjoyed them but tired
quickly so no more dates for a few years, most likely.

Okey dokey. The pizza was laid on the floor of a hot oven for around 9 minutes and then under the broiler element for around 4 minutes.

Okey dokey. The pizza was laid on the floor of a hot oven for around 9
minutes and then under the broiler element for around 4 minutes.

Thing is, my mother grew up in Ohio and I knew you were living there.
When you asked for a recipe for date-nut bars I thought ah ha! I think
I have what he's looking for. I gather I hit the nail on the head! Or
rather, my mother did. She might have gotten the recipe from her mother
or even her MIL, but she didn't specify on the recipe card. I'm so glad
you've been enjoying them ever since.

That would be ham, pineapple, and olives. Thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully the kids haven't spotted the leftovers.
