Publisher's Synopsis
With an array of recipes—from classics to seasonal specialties—that will appeal to all palates, this cookbook will become your go-to guide for making pizzeria-perfect pies at home. Recipes are organized by type with sections for vegetarian options, meat and seafood toppings, a variety of doughs (including gluten free and cauliflower), flavorful sauces, and fresh salads to round out the meal. All you need is a hot oven and a pizza stone to create a blistered crisp-and-chewy crust topped with your favorite ingredients. Adventurous cooks can branch out and use their grills for smoke-kissed flavor, or adapt the recipes to a wood-fired outdoor pizza oven or an electric countertop pizza oven. Expert tips for troubleshooting to ensure good results will help you become a pizzaiolo at home in no time. WIDE RANGE OF DIETARY OPTIONS: Features recipes for pizzas for any eating preference, from vegetarian to carnivore, and from vegan to gluten free. EXPERT TIPS: Ensure success in every step with pizza primer notes for kneading, rising, shaping, and baking. CUSTOMIZABLE PIES: Mix-and-match doughs and sauces make it easy to customize pizzas for different tastes and occasions: Enjoy thin-crust New York style pizza dough, chewy whole wheat dough, focaccia-like sheet pan dough, or cornmeal-flecked deep dish dough that's baked in a cast-iron pan. Pair any of these with Creamy Garlic Sauce, Classic Basil Pesto, Spicy Arrabiata Sauce, or Olive Tapenade. OLD-WORLD FAVORITES + MODERN COMBINATIONS: Indulge in recipes including a classic Margherita Pizza; Eggplant Parmesan Sheet Pan Pizza; Mortadella, Pistachio, and Burrata Pizza; and Sausage Peperoncini, and Mozzarella Calzone.
