Homemade Pizza Cookbook: Simple Pizza Recipes from Classic Margherita to Buffalo Chicken and Everything in Between

Pizza has an almost mystical power to bring people together with smiles. And it's more than just a meal - it’s an opportunity to connect with others around food you created yourself. The pizza recipes here will give you the tools to make restaurant-quality pies at home, which is easier to do than you may think once you’ve learned the fundamentals. Begin by creating your own dough - it only takes four basic ingredients that magically transform into that ideal chewy crust with the perfectly formed puffy edges that everyone fights over. After mastering this, the possibilities are endless. Begin with a Margherita, the classic, to see how simply using fresh tomatoes (in the form of tomato sauce), creamy mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil can create something truly unique. Next, you’ll be able to create crowd-pleasers that will leave you wondering why you ever spent money on delivery. Add a bunch of pepperoni, add a bunch of colorfully arranged vegetables, or experiment with some new ideas such as tangy BBQ chicken or sweet and savory Hawaiian pizza. You can also try a white pizza with no tomato sauce at all, pizza for breakfast, or get fancy with combinations of figs and prosciutto to impress your friends. All the recipes included here have options for whatever your mood and/or occasion is - from game day favorites such as buffalo chicken pizza, elegant dinner party pizza with caramelized pears and gorgonzola cheese, to kid friendly classics that seem to vanish before they hit the plate. We also included plant-based pizza options so that no one is left out when you want to have a pizza party. Each of these recipes will walk you through each step of the way like a friend teaching you the ropes, including practical tips, substitutions of ingredients to help each recipe fit into your family. No longer spend your money on pizza that never seems to live up to its promise. Your kitchen is going to turn into the top pizza parlor in town. View Less
