Review: Wish I bought this years ago - I have made good enough pizza of variable quality for years with a pizza steel and frustrating trial & error. For such simple ingredients I've always found it hard to make and wrongly put that down to my oven not being hot enough. This book is a game changer - there are so many authentic recipes for different international pizza styles and ovens. There is no nonsense filler, I.e. no recipes to bulk out the book for the sake of it. The foccacia, calzones, rotolos and all the regional pizzas and dough variations look amazing. The photos are also beautiful. The book explains the why. Why alter hydration, oven temperature, cooking times, proofing time, dough yeast content, gluten structure. It isn't boring to read as it's explained through stories and personal anecdotes. The book totally changed the recipe I use, the ingredients, quantities and hydration. It gave me other techniques to make pizza in my home oven even though tops out at 260C. The photos are of my first attempt at the first recipe I saw. The pizza is much better than anything I've made before. I'd gladly pay for this pizza in a restaurant.
Review: Not just recipes - Bought for a birthday present. Full of information I didn’t know I needed to know. Would recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good buy
*by S***Y on 17 June 2019*

I was recommended this book by a friend. It helped me to improve the quality of my outdoor sourdough pizzas which were charring at the bottom. Now they are pretty good.
