Inspiration and sound instruction are all that stand between you and honestly great home-made pizza. Alexandra Stafford's Pizza Night: Deliciously Doable Recipes for Pizza and Salad is loaded with both. In Pizza Night, Stafford presents four simple doughs: thin-crust, pan, Neapolitan-style, and gluten-free (plus sourdough variations), along with 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 light and healthy. Her pizza-making technique easily adapts to busy schedules and tastes and requires little in special equipment.Pizza Night is arranged seasonally and 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.Pizza Night by Alexandra Stafford. Published by Clarkson Potter. Hardcover. 256 Pages.
