DESCRIPTION

Make pizza night a weekly tradition with these 52 seasonal pizzas paired with salads for a complete meal--from the award-winning author of Bread Toast Crumbs and creator of the popular blog Alexandra's Kitchen.

"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.

REVIEWS

"In Pizza Night, Alexandra makes a strong case for enjoying pizza every week of the year--and who wouldn't want to live that life? With her dependable dough recipes, innovative and seasonal toppings, and nourishing salads, you'll never be left wondering if you can make pizza this week, only that you should."--Maurizio Leo, baker and author of the James Beard Award-winning The Perfect Loaf: The Craft and Science of Sourdough Breads, Sweets, and More

"This gorgeous book is, of course, for anyone who craves excellent homemade pizza (Hot Italian Sausage and Giardiniera Pizza with Mozzarella! Roasted Wild Mushroom Pizza with Garlic, Thyme, and Fontina! Buffalo Cauliflower Pizza with Scallion Crème Fraîche!), but it's also for anyone who wants to be intentional about rituals and memory-making and doesn't know where to start. 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
