    Introduction

    It’s an ancient seduction: good bread, aromatic and dense, topped with pure oils and the best fruits of earth and sea. Although modern pizza devotees consume $32 billion worth of the crusty delight each year, the tradition is as old as recorded history. And it is truly an international dish.

    Modern pizza history begins with a Neapolitan baker who prepared a pie in the colors of the Italian flag in honor of a visit from the queen. A few years later, Italian immigrants brought the dish to New York, and from there it flourished in Italian neighborhoods along the East Coast from Philadelphia to Boston. Years later, after United States servicemen came home from Europe with a taste for pizza and other ethnic fare, an era of all-American innovation began, and pizzas of all shapes and sizes, with all manner of toppings, began turning up in cities across the land.

    Whether your household budget leans toward the pizza stone or the stone pizza oven, it is absolutely possible to make fresh, fabulous pizza at home. The scent of warm bread and bubbling cheese from the kitchen will seduce even the toughest pizza snobs.

    We’ve gathered fifty of the most delicious recipes for you to begin your pizza journey. Try out a few pies on close friends and family, then work your way up to a full-fledged pizza party. The oohs and aahs from guests as you pull a fragrant, cheesy pizza from the oven will warm your heart … and make you wonder why you ever called for delivery.

    In a large measuring cup, dissolve yeast in water. Let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly. Combine sugar, salt, and bread flour in the bowl of a mixer with a dough hook. Or, to mix by hand, place in a large bowl. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the water, followed by 1 tablespoon of oil.

    Turn the mixer on low to blend, or begin stirring the flour into the liquid with a wooden spoon, a little at a time. When ingredients are well combined, turn the mixer on medium-low to knead for 5 minutes. If working dough by
