 This book rocks. June 2, 2007

I was thrilled to find this book (thanks to Amazon reviews) after years of struggling to make satisfying pizza at home. King Arthur Flour's Bakers Catalogue has high gluten flour available in smaller quantities, a purchase worth the effort. I finally have a crust I'm really proud of--kneeding by hand or with mixer--and his tips for sauce and mixing cheese (mozz AND prov together) have also improved our final product. I've adapted the crust recipe and have one I love. Now I just want a pizza oven! Oh well--Dominic helped us make the best possible pizza one can make at home. Highly recommended.
This book is GREAT!! March 17, 2007

I must admit, at first I was skeptical....but then the more I read the book the more happy I am that I purchased this. This book goes into great detail on how to get the pizza you want. I like the fact that it is not a book on one style of pizza. If you like a crispy crust it tells you how to achieve this. It tells you about the different results you will get using different materials. Very user friendly!

One of my passions is pizza and I try to make at least one every other weekend. Dom encourages you to experiment. He also let's you know that making great pizza takes practice AND the correct ingredients. You're not going to make pizza shop pizzas at home using grocery store ingredients. Dom points you in the right direction on how to get the ingredients that the pizza parlors are using so you can get a pro tasting pie.
The book is small in size and layed out in a nice orderly fashion. The only down side thing I can think of is that he only gives you one dough recipe and it's not that great of a dough. I have a variation on his recipe- up the high gluten to 3 cups and to go along with that you need 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of warm water depending on relative humidity, 1 tbsp. salad oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp. yeast and a pinch of sugar to get the yeast going. I sell a pizza DVD on ebay using this recipe, key words- New York Pizzeria Style Pizza. Dom knows pizza and I can vouch for his passion and abilities.
