What’s on the Menu:

• Monte Cristo Detroit-Style Pan Pizza
• Parma Italia Focaccia Pizza

Move over, ultra thin crust pizza: guest chef and pizza aficionado Peter Reinhart thinks the best pizzas have crusts that are bubbly, stretchy, flavorful and crisp. Join him at this pre-recorded class where you'll learn two pizzas that feature fantastic crusts. The first is a classic Detroit-style pan pizza. With crisped edges and a crumb that's chewy and chock full of bubbles, there's a reason that this particular Detroit pizza has a loyal following. Peter tops his with a pizza-fied version of a Monte Cristo sandwich, complete with thinly shaved turkey, gooey melted Provolone and a final light drizzle of maple syrup. The second recipe blurs the lines between focaccia and pizza, between salad and main dish. Curious? Peter makes it all clear. He'll also show you how to develop great flavor whether you're using instant yeast or sourdough. He'll walk you through the timing of pizza-making and reveal all the different ways you can make dough ahead. And he'll give you an insider's look at his must-have pizza tools and share tips and tricks to make great pizza at home with even the simplest equipment.
