PART THREE
PIZZA

With $32 billion worth consumed each year, pizza may just the most popular takeout meal. And it makes sense why—who doesn’t enjoy good bread, aromatic and dense, topped with pure oils and the best fruits of earth and sea?

However, making the same, mouth-watering pizza at home isn’t hard to do. The trickiest part of making homemade pizza is working with yeast-risen dough; but with a little practice, that can be mastered. In the meantime, if you want to start your home pizza tradition using store-bought dough or ready-to-top bread crust, we promise no one will complain. The scent of warm bread and bubbling cheese from the kitchen will seduce even the toughest pizza snobs.

With this book as your guide, explore the vast world of pizza and pizza-inspired dishes. When you finally pull out a fragrant, cheesy pizza from the oven you’ll wonder why you ever called for delivery.
