Italian Sausage Roll

I recently made a batch of Pizza Dough from The Pizza Bible.  This is enough for 4 servings.  I used one half on Friday night for a Pissaladiere, substituting sardines for my usual anchovies.  It turned out very well.  I was looking around for something to do with the other half and spotted a recipe Read More …

Pour-In-The-Pan Pizza

An unusual way to make pizza dough was the cover article in the Sept.-Oct. issue of Milk Street Magazine, and I made it to general acclaim for a family dinner last night. It combined a very light crumb with a crunchy bottom surface. This is an unusually high hydration dough, which requires some changes in Read More …

Pizza in a Big Green Egg

One of the advantages of a Big Green Egg (BGE) is that it can handle a wide range of temperatures.  It can get very hot (approaching 1000 degrees F) and can also maintain a low temperature (like 225 degrees F) for a long period of time. As part of a virtual campout during the pandemic Read More …

Cast Iron Pan Pizza

An article in Cook’s Illustrated discussed the virtues of making a pizza in a cast iron frying pan, and indeed, it did turn out very well.  There were three things which were unusual about this approach: A long fermentation including the final 1.5 hours in the cast iron pan.  A border of cheese on the Read More …

Fugazza Con Queso (Cheese and Onion Pizza)

Fugazza con queso is an Argentine variation of pizza.  This version is adapted from Ross Dobson’s and Rachel Tolosa Pas’s cookbook The Food of Argentina.  Ingredients have been sized for a half recipe of the dough from Pepperoni Pizza from The Pizza Bible , which will serve 2-3 people.  The contrast between caramelized onions (and Read More …

Pepperoni Pizza for One

The photo is from a personal pizza made from ¼ of the dough of a batch from Pepperoni Pizza from The Pizza Bible.  Again the crust was truly excellent.  I baked it for 10 minutes at 500 degrees on a pizza steel. Later today as an experiment I will turn the other ¾ of the Read More …

Pizza Dough from The Pizza Bible

To improve my pizza game, I recently bought Tony Gemignani’s The Pizza Bible, and I carefully followed the very detailed instructions for his introductory recipe, the classic pepperoni pizza.  It was very good.  (Following the instructions carefully was hard since one of my 2 year old granddaughters very much wanted to help me make the Read More …

New York – New Jersey Tomato Sauce

This is a slight simplification of the recipe in Tony Gemignani’s The Pizza Bible, in which I used two different canned tomato products instead of three.  (The original had 2 oz. of hand-crushed canned tomatoes, which I replaced with additional ground tomatoes.)  The sauce worked very well on a pepperoni pizza, and demonstrated the difference Read More …

Focaccia with Cheese and Pepperoni

A focaccia is a flatbread which is like a pizza but thicker and with less of a topping.  In a focaccia the emphasis is on the bread, with the topping just an accent to flavor the bread, vs. the focal point of the dish.  This version was made with a half recipe from Pizza for Many Read More …

Shakshuka Focaccia

This was a good lunch, but is definitely something which needs more refining.  The original idea was an article I saw which cited a recipe from Uri Scheft’s book Baking Breads: A New World of Israeli Baking.  Then I noticed a similar idea in Michael Solomonov’s book Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking.  Combining these Read More …
