The Elements of Pizza: Unlocking the Secrets to World-Class Pies at Home [A Cookbook]
Description
The James Beard and IACP Award-winning author of Flour Water Salt Yeast and
one of the most trusted baking authorities in the country proves that amazing
pizza is within reach of any home cook. “If there were ever to be a bible for
all things pizza—and I mean all things—Ken Forkish has just written it.”—Marc
Vetri, author of Mastering Pasta and owner of Vetri The Elements of Pizza
breaks down each step of the pizza-making process, from choosing a dough to
shaping your pie to selecting cheeses and toppings that will work for your
home kitchen setup. Forkish offers more than a dozen different dough
recipes—same-day “Saturday doughs” that you can make in the morning to bake
pizza that night, levain doughs made from a naturally fermented yeast starter,
and even gluten-free dough—each of which results in the best, most texturally
sublime crust you’ve ever made at home. His clear, expert instructions will
have you shaping pies and loading a pizza peel with the confidence of a
professional pizzaiolo. And his innovative, seasonal topping ideas will
surprise and delight any pizza lover—and inspire you to create your own
signature pies, just the way you like them. Read more
