Inhaltsangabe

Every critic, blogger and Londoner has sung the praises of Franco Manca, whose pizzas are 'the best in Britain' (Observer). The owner, Giuseppe Mascoli, knows that the best pizza in Italy comes from Naples and therefore, as an expat Neopolitan himself, he has gone back to its roots, where making pizza is all about simple things (bread, tomato, cheese) and simple steps (make the dough, let it rise, flatten it, add topping, bake in the oven), all using the best ingredients to produce pizza of exceptional quality. Aimed at the home cook who doesn't have a traditional woodburning oven, Giuseppe has tailored his recipes so you can use a pizza stone or a heavy baking tray and still get great results., His famous, slow-rising sourdough recipe produces a soft and easily digestible crust, there are 50-60 recipes with seasonal variations, plus chapters on fritti (fried starters) and salads and also tips and techniques for making your own flavoured oils, preserving your tomatoes and curing your meat. Without a doubt, this is the closest you'll come to the real deal in your home kitchen, and in your personal quest for perfect pizza.

Críticas:

'Franco Manca pizzas are the best in Britain'--William Skidelsky, The Observer

'[Giuseppe Mascoli's] recipes in Artisan Pizza are superb and his method foolproof.'--Stella magazine

'Cleverly, the discs are cooked in an iron frying pan on top of the stove (not in the oven) before they re blasted under the grill to create perfectly crisp bottoms and melty tops. From marinara to margherita, or courgette with ricotta, mint and basil, the balance of flavours was as fine-tuned as the bases[...]These are undoubtedly the best homemade pizzas I ve tried.' --Celia Plender, Time Out London

'London's Franco Manca restaurants serve up gorgeous sourdough pizzas. They use a wood-fired oven, which is sadly lacking in most homes, so this book describes a really easy method to achieve the same result without one. Alongside clear instructions for making the bases are a collection of great toppings.' ----BBC Good Food Magazine
