American Pie: My Search for the Perfect Pizza

Customer Reviews

The Master Pizza cookbook

Peter Reinhart became my baking idol after baking from "The Bread Baker's Apprentice". I couldn't imagine that he could write a book that could top that one, but he did with "American Pie".

Once you try grilling pizza you'll never go back to spending 1 hour preheating your baking stone. It is the best way to make a pizza. Don't let it intimate you...the dough want fall into the fire. I was able to achieve great results with a gas grill.

Everything that I've tried was delicious and can't wait to try the rest of the recipes.
