Zoe and I aren’t gluten-free, but some of our friends are, so our second and third books have a nice sampling of gluten-free doughs. The pizza above? A gluten-free Pear, Prosciutto, and Blue Cheese Pizza that we featured in the article we just wrote for Easy Eats Magazine (click here for a free sample download of the article). Easy Eats Magazine (EasyEats.com) is brand-new, and it’s specifically for gluten-free folks– there’s no wheat in this magazine. Our article isn’t just about pizza– there’s bread, breadsticks, pannetone muffins, and challah. We’re thrilled to be part of the inaugural issue!
I don’t tweet, but I’ll share on facebook 🙂
Wonderful, we look forward to hearing about your pizzas on FB and Twitter!
Cheers, Zoë
I’ll be there! It was great to meet you both in SF. Tweeted.
Hi Sachi,
We do give detailed instructions on freezing pizza in our book.
Enjoy all the pizza! Zoë
This was a weekend of making pizza! I just finished a bowl of Brenda Langton’s wonderful Curried Lentil soup (thank you!) along with a piece of spelt pita. But that was just the start to the weekend….

Thanks for the fun! I love making pizza. >: )
Hi Bonnie,
Thanks for sharing the link to your pizza post, it is amazing! 🙂 Can’t wait to share it at #PizzaPartyin5!
Cheers, Zoë
I found your olive oil pizza dough recipe in a coupon circular and decided to try making it. I followed the recipe, made the dough, then decided to go to your website so I could read about the book. I see the recipe for olive oil dough on your website and it has 2 tablespoons of sugar in it which were not in the recipe in the circular. Why change the recipe and is my dough still going to come out without the sugar? Thanks!
Sue: Lots of variations possible, will work beautifully.
That pizza is gorgeous! I have all three of your books and love them. I’m working on mastering the brioche recipe now.
Thanks for hosting a great pizza party!
My post is up now…It was all delicious! Many thanks. 🙂

I just made the GF Pear, Prosciutto and Blue Cheese Pizza. It was delic – but I got no rise out of the dough. Not a little, NONE. Brand new yeast today. Any ideas?
Susan: I’ve asked Zoe to take a look, but she’s in the middle of quite a lot of cooking at the moment– may be a bit… Jeff
Hi Susan,
The dough didn’t rise in the bucket or when you baked it?
Thanks, Zoë
My question is about how flour ages. I do not cook or bake very often. I just got a new hoosier cabinet and have relocated my flours and sugars to this cabinet. I realize that some of my flour has been sitting a while and need to know whether to dump it an get some new flour. Usually keep all purpose flour but am interested in doing more baking with breads and cakes from scratch. Don’t know whether they will be decent or not.
MamaJ: Purists say flour goes stale-tasting after 6 to 12 months, but I never keep it that long so I can’t say for sure.
