Pizza Quest with Peter Reinhart

Coming Attractions, Week of June 20th

Lots of new stuff this week, beginning with a delayed Peter’s Blog, direct from our next webisode filming session, taking place in a “secret” location this week. I’ll post my report on Thursday, instead of on my usual Tuesday, so that I can bring you an up to the minute report. We’re pretty jazzed about it, though. On Tuesday, instead, we’ll post another great home recipe photo spread from Brad,…Read More…

A Buonchristiani Pizza with Spicy Pork Sausage

I was making a bunch of pizzas recently and taking lots of photos, so I went to the meat department where I shop to see if they happened to have any lamb sausage.  Yes, Jay Buonchristiani’s Lamb Sausage with Fennel Pizza was that good and I wanted to make it again (see the Instructional Section for the original posting on this).  And, I had another bottle of his Syrah hanging…Read More…

Sprouted Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

I’ve been asked for this recipe many times even though only a few of you actually have the sprouted wheat flour but, in the hopes that you will soon acquire some, here’s what to do with it when you get it: make a killer pizza dough.  As I mentioned in earlier posts, this flour is so remarkable that you don’t need a preferment, nor oil, nor sweetener, nada — just…Read More…

  Welcome back everyone. I mentioned in the Coming Attractions about how much I enjoyed the recent Jon Stewart rant about NY pizza.  I found it at: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-june-1-2011/me-lover-s-pizza-with-crazy-broad” —  but you can also track it down via a Google search under Jon Stewart Pizza (one of these days I’ll have to figure out out to put one of those click here buttons into these postings). Anyway, I’m sure most of…Read More…

Thursday, 09 June 2011 Webisodes

Here it is, our first detour off the pizza trail to The Taco Temple in Morro Bay, California, the culinary altar of Chef Adam Pollard and his hard working team of, well, tacaiolos.  We stopped here mainly because Brad English, who is the producer and director of our webisodes (who, along with Jeff Michael dreamed up Pizza Quest in the first place), had been there before on one of his…Read More…
