Crazy Crispy Pizza at Home: No Kneading or Special Oven Required

20100616-crumbshot.jpg

Famed NYC breadmeister Jim Lahey’s no-knead pizza crust was a total game changer when it was published in the New York Times. Its fantastic: I’ve used this exclusively for the last two years or so, and really excels on super hot surfaces, like the outdoor grill. But burning a whole batch of charcoal isn’t always convenient or practical, and there must be an in-the-oven technique for making great, thin-crust Neapolitan style pizza.

Indeed, there is. My fave food blog Serious Eats has come up with a no-pizza stone required technique for great, crispy pizza in the average home oven, using Lahey’s no-knead Co. recipe and the two-pronged approach of a screaming hot inverted cast iron skillet and a blazing broiler.      Slideshow
