Fontinella-Mozzarella Pizza

It's pizza night! Here is a great combination of recipes for homemade pizza with a garlic-basil crust (okay, I cheated and used my bread machine), a delicious sauce, and a yummy combination of cheeses on top.

Ingredients:
Dough - for bread machine

• 1 cup flat beer (I used Moosehead Lager)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (optional)
• salt to taste (I used 1 teaspoon Nature's Seasons)

Toppings
