Pizza Making

We’d been searching for a cookbook that truly captured the heart of pizza-making, and Mastering Pizza didn’t disappoint. The contrast between the handmade pizza and the focaccia recipes was striking—each technique distinct in its requirements. What particularly impressed us were the detailed steps, especially when comparing the fermented rise times for different shapes. Beyond recipes, the book generously shares unexpected tips, like how a simple topping tweak can entirely shift a pie’s flavor profile. We found ourselves nodding along with the author’s passion for authenticity, even as we debated whether handmade dough demanded more patience. It’s a resourceful guide, perfect for anyone serious about bringing gourmet Italian baking into our kitchens.
