Book Synopsis

Turn your home kitchen into an authentic high-end pizzeria, capable of turning out pizza-parlor-quality pies, with this definitive and inventive companion for the countertop pizza oven.

Dedicated indoor pizza ovens are easy to use and make incredibly good pizza in a flash. However, when you combine such high heat with such a short cooking time, you have little room for error. You need the perfect recipe, and for that there is no better source than Jonathon Schuhrke, aka Santa Barbara Baker, who knows more about pizza and pizza ovens than, well, just about anyone. Jonathon's training as a scientist and a chef helped him crack the code to making epic pizza at home, which he first began sharing in his first book, Epic Outdoor Pizza Oven Cookbook. In this new cookbook he takes the pizzeria back indoors and serves up delicious recipes for all types of pizza, no matter what make or model of indoor pizza oven you own.

Epic Indoor Pizza Oven Cookbook delivers:

• • • • Precise, reliable answers to all your questions, such as what oven settings to use for a perfectly crisp crust every time.
      • A bounty of pizza styles, including New York-style, Thin and Crispy Chicago Tavern-style, and Neapolitan-style.
      • Pan-baked pizzas, like deep dish Detroit-style pizza, Sicilian-style squares, and thin-crusted bar-style pan pizza

      • Classic pizzas taken to the next level, like the Epic Pepperoni Stuffed and Crusted Pizza or the New York-style Spicy Vodka Slice

This book, so full of deeply satisfying pizza ideas and perfect-every-time recipes that take you from dough to slice, will unlock a lifetime of enjoyment from your indoor pizza oven.
