"I dare you to flip through Ali's easy-to-follow, farm-fresh recipes and not feel inspired to plan your first pizza night immediately."-Jenny Rosenstrach, bestselling author of Dinner- A Love Story and The Weekday Vegetarians
Making great pizza isn't complicated. Whether you're using a kitchen oven, a grill, or an outdoor pizza oven, it all starts with the dough.
In Pizza Night, Alexandra Stafford presents four simple doughs-thin-crust, pan, Neapolitan-style, and gluten-free (plus sourdough variations)-and easy techniques for perfecting your crust. From there, you can create a variety of delicious pizzas, including Detroit-Style Pizza for a Crowd, Classic Margherita Pizza, and Winter White Pizza with Garlic and Herbs. You can make it the same day or ahead; make it extra cheesy and decadent or go the healthy road-pizza-making easily adapts to busy schedules and tastes and requires little in special equipment.
Arranged seasonally, each pizza is paired with a salad, from a springtime Salami and Red Onion Pizza with Calabrian Chiles and Hot Honey served with an Arugula Salad with Prosciutto and Parmesan, to a fall Broccoli Rabe and Smoked Mozzarella Pizza accompanied by a Farm Share Harvest Slaw to a summery Roasted Hatch Chili Pizza with Corn and Oaxaca with a Melon, Cucumber and Mint Salad. To end your meal on a sweet note, there are also a handful of simple desserts to choose from (Loaf Pan Tiramisu, One-Bowl Lemon Ricotta Pound Cake). Pizza Night serves up a year's worth of delicious, inspired, and satisfying pizzas and salads.
