The Complete Idiots Guide To Pizza And Panini

Can you imagine consuming 23 pounds of anything? Well, odds are that you do - on the average, Americans eat 23 pounds, or 43 slices, of pizza per year! So what do those 43 slices consist of? Pepperoni, extra cheese, maybe anchovy if you're daring. But that's not all pizza can be! America's favourite food has a varied background-probably more than you realize. There are tons of interesting flavour combinations and styles out there, from traditional to gourmet, from Sicilian to French . . . and don't even get me started on the possibilities of using other grains or cooking methods for the crust! But put down that phone! Not even the most amateur cooks have to rely on delivery for great pizzas and grilled sandwiches. All you really need is The Complete Idiot's Guide to Pizza and Panini. This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of pizza making, from trade secrets, comparisons and instructions for baking pans, stones, and pizza ovens to unique takes on different types of pizzas and Panini.
