Spouses Kelli and Peter present their fifth collection of gluten-free pizza recipes (after Gluten-Free Family Favorites) in this smart and accessible cookbook. A dozen different types of flour—made from various grains, nuts, and root vegetables—are utilized to create 15 different types of dough and more than 60 kinds of pie. Their version of a classic New York–style thin crust employs a blend of rice, quinoa, and potato flour, while the Chicago deep-dish uses brown rice and millet flours, plus cornmeal. High heat and a quick bake are key to properly puffed Neapolitan Margherita pizzas, taking just a few minutes in a 550 °F oven (the dough is a mix of millet flour, potato starch, quinoa flour, tapioca starch, and brown rice flour). Less traditional entries include a grilled pie with steak, bacon, and blue cheese (the crust is a bench flour of rice and cornmeal), as well as a brussels sprouts and bacon pizza with a cauliflower crust. The book’s penultimate chapter covers breakfast, with such options as a lox and cream cheese pie; and for dessert there is a pizza of chocolate and hazelnut, as well as one with caramelized bananas. Pizza lovers seeking gluten-free satisfaction for their cravings will find plenty of delicious choices to chew on. (Oct.)
"From my long experience with gluten-free pizza, I can confirm that the recipes presented in the book are perfect, precise, and simple to reproduce. In particular, for the Neapolitan pizza, the book follows the guidelines of true Neapolitan pizza, including a perfectly workable dough. Overall, the book is an excellent guide for both the beginner and the more experienced pizza chef."
"The Bronskis are always meticulous about making sure their recipes are a treat to eat—even for those without any dietary restrictions—and this book is no exception. Traveling throughout Italy and eliciting trade secrets from the world’s best pizzaioli have resulted in a truly spectacular book full of can’t-miss recipes. Using the special techniques highlighted in this book and armed with just a few commonly found gluten-free ingredients, any home baker can eat superb pizza."
"I love when people visit our pizzeria and ask us, ‘Are you sure this is gluten-free?’ Now, home pizza makers—not to mention their family and friends—will be asking the same thing, thanks to the impressive collection of recipes in No Gluten, No Problem Pizza."

Though some pizza books include gluten-free recipes and some gluten-free cookbooks include pizza, this cookbook is one of the best options for gluten-free home chefs on pizza night. After visiting 25 pizzerias and tasting numerous options, the authors (Gluten-Free Family Favorites; nogluten-noproblem.com) developed more than 75 easy recipes for getting the right flavor and texture sans a traditional wheat crust. Their mouth-watering cookbook includes chapters on New York-style, Neapolitan, thin-crust, deep-dish, and California-style pizzas. The collection branches out with grain-free, breakfast, and dessert pizzas in addition to Italian specialties like calzones and focaccia. The authors comment on the new deglutinated wheat starch becoming available in the United States, and include a quick reference chart illustrating how their 15 fermented and quick dough recipes stack up to the most common allergens and dietary restrictions. Readers will need a scale since recipes only give flour and water measurements in grams. VERDICT Recommended for anyone gluten-free as well as pizza lovers who will enjoy experimenting with the dozen or so flours used.—Bonnie Poquette, Milwaukee
