The Joy of Pizza by Pamella Z. Asquith

Paperback

Everyone loves pizza, but it has come a long way since it was a simple fast food. Many restaurants today are featuring pizzas of true culinary distinction. Here is a book by a professional cook, baker, and teacher, that enables even the beginner to make great pizzas. Starting with the equipment needed and general instructions on dough-making, it proceeds, step-by-step, to illustrate how to make over 150 different kinds of pizza, including deepdish. There are recipes for eight different doughs– among them sourdough, rye, cornmeal, and mixed whole grain– and more fillings than you can imagine, plus suggestions on how to improvise your own combinations and presentations.
