The Perfect Pizza by Maurizio Leo

The Perfect Pizza
The Craft and Science of Sourdough Pizza, Focaccia, and More: A Cookbook
Author Maurizio Leo

The creator of The Perfect Loaf turns his sourdough expertise to pizza, with a complete guide to making outstanding naturally leavened pies at home.

Maurizio Leo walks you through every stage of the process: starting and caring for a sourdough starter, mixing and fermenting dough, and shaping and baking in whatever oven you have, from a home kitchen oven to a dedicated pizza oven.

Instead of a handful of master doughs, the book offers recipes for more than forty distinct styles, including New York, Sicilian, and Pizza al Taglio, plus whole-grain and specialty-flour doughs, a range of focaccias, and regional Italian specialties, so you can dial in the pizza you love most.
