Sicilian & Grandma Style

$27.99

Step into the world of thick, airy, and wonderfully satisfying square pizzas with Sicilian & Grandma Style. This book is dedicated to two of Italy's most beloved baked pizza formats, both celebrated for their pillowy focaccia-like crusts, rich tomato sauce, and generous cheese toppings, all baked to golden perfection in sheet pans. Inside, you'll find 28 exceptional recipes that honor these traditions while introducing creative contemporary twists.

Anthony addresses the critical differences between the two styles: Sicilian pizza features a taller, airier crust made with a high-hydration dough that is par-baked before topping, while Grandma pizza is thinner, crispier, and typically uses a direct-dough method with a shorter proof. You'll master the art of the sheet-pan bake, learning to achieve a crisp bottom without a stone, and how to create that ideal open crumb structure that makes these pizzas so irresistible.

From a classic Margherita Sicilian topped with fresh basil and buffalo mozzarella to a savory 'Nduja, honey, and hot soppressata Grandma pie, the recipes in this collection are as diverse as they are delicious. You will also find family-style combinations, secret tips for making a brick-oven-like effect at home, and techniques for properly slicing and serving these rectangular delights. Celebrate the comfort and generosity of Sicilian and Grandma style pizzas all year round.
