California Pizza Kitchen Cookbook

There is nothing to dislike, I make pizzas for my family all the time. Lots to like in this cookbook.

The pizza recipes I've tried so far are delicious. However, the dough recipe does not work!!!!! It is mushy and is not nearly enough dough to make 2 9-inch pizzas. I use the Betty Crocker pizza dough recipe instead:Dissolve one packet of yeast and one Tablespoon sugar in one cup very warm water. Stir til dissolved. Let sit until yeast bubbles; about five minutes.Add 3 Cups flour, 3 Tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt.Knead for five minutes by hand or in KitchenAid mixer with dough hook on lowest speed.Let rest about 30 minutes, until doubled in size approximately.Divide in half. Make a ball with each half and flatten each into a 9-inch circle with slighly built up edges to be the crust. Do this on a lightly floured surface, and dust your hands with flour too so the dough doesn't stick to them. Put the toppings on and bake.I turned my oven on to 500 and cooked the pizzas on the middle rack. Took about 20 minutes each. It just doesn't compare to a wood fired oven, but the results were still great!

Bought this as a gift - I have one so knew what a great book it was.Lots of great pizza ideas, with photos. It is a fun addition to the cook book shelf and has some CPK classics we have made over and over.

a lovely cook book and we have tried just about all the recipes contained in it. While we prepared the recipes exactly as written, there were a couple that didn't come close to the pizza's served in the restaurant. Still our favorite pizza restaurant!!

LOVE this book. time consuming recipes but totally worth it. only one we haven't liked so far. i bought this book, a pizza stone and peel for two friends now and we have pizza parties once a month. so a great way for all of us and our husbands to get together.

When you cannot get to the restaurant this is better!

Had the recipe I was looking for.

was looking for a recipe for Peking Duck pizza that they used to serve. I found it and it has step by step instructions and photos, so happy to own this book
