Recipe: New York–style pizza
Posted on March 28, 2018May 10, 2018

Recipe: New York–style pizza

A good New York–style pizza should be thin and crisp yet chewy and flexible. The cheese flavorful and oozy, not rubbery. The sauce can be as simple as crushed tomatoes with salt or a more herby blend. It’s possible to make at home. Continue reading Recipe: New York–style pizza

Recipe: The Simplest Pizza Sauce Ever

Recipe: The Simplest Pizza Sauce Ever

Neapolitan pizza-makers don’t even call this “sauce.” It’s just “tomato” on their menus, in their speech, their literature. And it’s easy to see why. There’s nothing more to this “recipe” than crushed tomatoes and salt. Continue reading Recipe: The Simplest Pizza Sauce Ever

Recipe: Super Simple Seasoned Pizza Sauce
Posted on March 27, 2018May 16, 2018

Recipe: Super Simple Seasoned Pizza Sauce

I got this recipe from a longtime frequent commenter on Slice/Serious Eats. He could be a curmudgeon, and he was certainly … opinionated, but he was insatiably curious and enthusiastic about pizza-making. He died a number of years ago, but whenever I crack a can of Sclafani crushed tomatoes, I think of him. Continue reading Recipe: Super Simple Seasoned Pizza Sauce

Recipe: New York Pizza Dough
Posted on March 27, 2018May 10, 2018

Recipe: New York Pizza Dough

A New York pizza dough differs from a Neapolitan one in the addition of sugar and oil. The sugar helps feed the yeast during refrigerated fermentation and promotes browning (via the Maillard reaction), and the oil helps tenderize the dough—helpful during the relatively longer bake times of a New York pie.

Recipe: Clam, Chile, and Parsley Pizza à la Franny’s

Franny’s was a beloved upscale Brooklyn pizzeria that opened in 2004* to immediate acclaim due in part to this white clam pie. For reasons that remain undisclosed, it shuttered in August 2017 after nearly 13 years on the scene. For those of you lucky enough to have eaten there, this topping combo will hopefully jog … Continue reading Recipe: Clam, Chile, and Parsley Pizza à la Franny’s

So I taught a private pizzamaking-at-home class

Last Friday I taught a one-off home-pizzamaking workshop for a group of five—a dad, his two sons, their uncle/The Dad’s brother, and a friend of the family. Here are two pizzas I had a chance to snap pictures of. The plain pie is a Di Fara–inspired pizza with a blend of regular “low-moisture” mozzarella and … Continue reading So I taught a private pizzamaking-at-home class
