Wayne Milford was working in the fast-paced pharmaceutical industry in New York City when he decided to switch things up. He had always been curious about the kitchen, but it wasn't until he was in high school that his appreciation kicked in. He enjoyed grilling and smoking meat and then eventually decided he wanted to experiment with beer. Milford's newest obsession had been found. He poured himself into home brewing. So much so, that his hobby of homebrewing turned into his profession. Milford now has 20 years' experience, a degree in intensive brewing science from the American Brewers Guild in Vermont and has designed and built six other breweries.
These days, he is running his own space, Birthright Brewing Company, on Main Street in Nazareth. It is a family-friendly spot where you can expect seasonal menu items paired with wood-fired pizzas as well as seasonal beers.
At home with his family, pizza night is always a big hit. Birthright even sells dough that customers can take home and use to make their own pizza creations. Some homemade sauce and whatever may be in the fridge for the toppings is always a crowd-pleaser.
Here, Milford is sharing the recipe for Birthright's famous pie, The Cure. But the best part of pizza is being creative with what you put on it—well, that, and the fact that it pairs really well with beer.

Ingredients
10-ounce ball of pizza dough
2 ounces marinara sauce
2 ounces white sauce
3 ounces capicola
3 ounces prosciutto
3 ounces mozzarella
2 ounces shaved parmesan
Instructions
Press and stretch the dough to about 12 inches using your knuckles and the fists of your hands. The dough will be sticky so be sure to use all-purpose flour on the work surface and on your hands.
Combine the marinara sauce and the white sauce. Spread it out evenly to almost the edge of the dough.
Place the cured meats on top and then the cheeses.
Put the pizza in the oven at the highest temperature available on a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Remove from oven once the cheese looks like it is cooked through and to your desired doneness.
