Introducing Pizza School!

It's our new series, and you're already enrolled. [hero]( Recipes and lessons delivered hot to your inbox [David Tamarkin]( Editorial Director Welcome to Pizza School, a fresh newsletter from King Arthur. This is a place for people who love eating pizza (that’s you!), and people who love making pizza (also you — even if you don’t know it yet). Over the course of the next year we’ll be developing new recipes for easy pizzas for you to make at home, and we’ll send those recipes in this email with lots of tips for success. There’ll also be videos. And other fun surprises. (But though we’re calling this Pizza School, don’t worry — there’ll be no tests.) We start with the Summer Pizza course. Summer pizza means grilled pizza, and grilled pizza takes practice. So over the next four weeks that’s exactly what we’ll do: practice. Together we’ll make grilled pizzas, grilled calzones, and some ridiculously delicious grilled garlic knots. I’ll be your instructor for this course — I'm King Arthur’s Editorial Director, and I spend most of my summer weekends throwing dough onto the grates of my old beat-up Weber. Lately that dough has been our [brand-new grilled pizza dough]( recipe. It uses our incredibly fine ['00' Pizza Flour]( and has been formulated specifically for the grill, but also works beautifully in the oven. (It’s also a super-flexible recipe that you can make in the afternoon and have ready for dinner that night — no overnight rest required.) We’ll use this base dough recipe for all of our grilled pizza adventures, including this week, when we’ll use it not to make pizza but a simple, airy, dimpled flatbread. This is a starter recipe for anybody who wants to master grilled dough — no sauce or toppings to worry about, just a golden, focaccia-like bread that you’ll tear into while it’s hot off the grill. This week's assignment Start your grilled pizza education by making this simple, dimpled flatbread. [Get the recipe]( 1. Dust heavily You’ll shape your flatbread on what the recipe calls a “heavily floured surface.” Heed that language. Don’t be afraid of the semolina here — dust your surface generously and flip the dough often while shaping. The semolina will help ensure that the dough doesn’t stick to the grill grate. [Get the Bag]( [hero]( 2. Dimple deeply When you dimple this dough, you should be able to feel your work surface beneath it (though, of course, try not to poke actual holes through the dough). Deep dimples will help the bread keep its shape; if you don’t dimple deep enough, you’ll end up with a big piece of pita. [hero]( 3. Bake like a cook In the oven, bread bakes mostly unattended. On the grill, you never leave the bread’s side. Stay close, peak under the dough often to check for charring (some is good, but too much is bad), and flip it only when you see that the bread is golden and crispy — not a minute before! [hero]( Pair the flatbread with romesco, roasted red peppers, soft cheeses like ricotta or feta, hummus, pickles, or just douse it in olive oil. Resist the urge to top it with pizza sauce and cheese — there will be plenty of that next week.
