In order to save Camp Half-Blood, Percy and his friends embark on a journey to the Sea of Monsters — aka the Bermuda Triangle — to find the magical Golden Fleece.

Step 2: Make your pizza:

Quick & easy homemade pizza (no yeast needed!)

TOTAL TIME: 25mins

Makes 2 thin crust pizzas or 1 deep dish pizza

Ingredients:

3 cups unbleached flour (plus more for dusting)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) can beer (light beer is fine)
Olive Oil
Pizza sauce and/or toppings of your choice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the beer and mix well. The dough will be sticky.
Spread a handful of flour on your work surface and dump the dough onto it.
Toss the dough around to coat it with flour and prevent it from sticking.
Knead it 2 or 3 times to make it pliable.
Shape the dough into a ball and divide it in two if you are making 2 thin crust pizzas.
For a deep dish pie do not divide.
Grease your pizza pan with oil and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a circle.
Brush crust with olive oil lightly and then add your sauce and toppings.
Bake for 12- 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
