About This Book
Wood-Fired Pizza Mastery is the definitive resource for anyone serious about traditional pizza-making. We have spent years traveling to Naples to study from the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, learning the certified techniques that make Neapolitan pizza a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. This book covers everything: building your own wood-fired oven from scratch, understanding fire dynamics, optimal wood types, and dough recipes that require the right hydration and fermentation for wood-fired cooking.
Beyond recipes, you'll find troubleshooting tips for common issues such as charring, undercooking, or inconsistent heat. We also feature interviews with renowned pizzaiolos and insights into the culture and history of wood-fired pizza. This is a must-have for both hobbyists and professionals alike.
