Pizza dough with beets

A selection of Beta vulgaris, known as beet ro...Beet Pizza Dough. Seriously.
Basically, this dough doesn't taste weird. It's extremely pretty. And it's a new way to use beets, as if you were looking for one. Though, maybe you should be! Beets are "rich in natural sugar, sodium, sulphur, chlorine, iodine, copper and vitamin B1, B2, C and bioflavonoids" (Source).
BEET PIZZA DOUGH
What you'll need . . .
1 cup warm water
1 envelope active dry yeast
2 tablespoon agave nectar
1/2 cup beet puree (get a can of beets -- instructions below)
2 tablespoons olive oil (I used an herbed variety)
3-1/2 cups unbleached bread flour (I used King Arthur)

I'm ditching the canned beets and pulling out some from the garden. Now if I only had built that outdoor pizza oven.
