1. What's New: Affiliate Program, The Forum and a Bribe

Hello Pizza Fans. I am excited to announce a new pizzatherapy.com Affiliate Program for The Pizza Therapy Pizza Book. If you have a website, have a desire to promote, or are interested in Internet Marketing in any way, I want to invite you to become a pizzatherapy.com affiliate. This program is free to join and you can make money. There is no catch. If you think you may be interested, please visit this page:
http://pizzatherapy.com/affiliates.htm or Just Click Here.

In other news...

The pizzatherapy.com and pastatherapy.com Forum is alive and well. There are now over 207 members with over 400 articles, comments, conversations and just plain, positive pizza proliferation. (Wow, that is a mouthful!) My goal is to have over 1,000 members. That only leaves less than 800 members to sign up. I know with your help, I can reach this milestone. The first 1,000 is the hardest. After that, I know it will be duck pizza. Er...I mean duck soup...

Here is the deal: it's free, it's fun and it's fantastic. You will engage with some of the most knowledgeable pizza fanatics on the planet. If you get a chance, please sign up and be part of this community. Go and visit the Forum. Post a comment, join a conversation or share your knowledge. Here is the link: The Forum.

Finally, I bribed the readers of my Internet Newsletter, the Big List. Pure and simple, it was a bribe. I am happy to bribe you as well. This is really a lesson in The Law of Reciprocity. I decided to share a bit of my own Internet philosophy as I offered this ethical bribe. If you want to see the bribe, and get bribed yourself, you can go here:

2. Pizza Comments

I get lots and lots of emails from pizza lovers all over the world....I just wanted to share a few with you, here.

Joe wanted to share a bread making tip:

"Hi Albert:

Thanks for all your travel stories on great pizza. I think I get what a blog is.

I may have mention before besides making homemade pizza I bake Italian Bread at home and also years ago
at my daughters old school in Hawaii.

Here is a tip for baking Italian Bread at home. For 25 years now I tried baking the bread in all kinds of pans and temperatures. The very best I have found is baking at 325 in foil pie pans at home makes the
bread come out perfect with a dark brown crush evenly cooked all around without burning. The pie tin for
baking bread my sound nuts but in is second to none as far as I am concerned for baking bread."

Jeff explains:

"I am a new pizzeria owner. Make about 50 a day.
Learned solely from your web pages. Gourmet thin is our style. Large is bigggg 16 inches. Everyday:
Dough for 30 pizzas, Sauce, Prep, Purchase fresh produce, Flyer design , Oven cleanliness, Proper phone etiquette.

I loved pizza soo much and always was disappointed with pizza qualities. So I found an empty spot and started from scratch. This is going to be a rollercoaster ride.

I thank you for your knowledge and insight into the wild world
of pizza".

Mike Devine reveals:

"Albert:

- I'll be in New Haven this week, taking my Dad to Ireland. I'll heavy up
on the fried clams at a place called Glenwood Drive In (Hamden).

 On the return trip to New Haven, we'll make a trip to Sally's, not sure about Pepe's or
Modern. I'll be in New York a day, I'll try for a clam pie at Lombardi's, it's
awesome, rivals the best in New Haven (almost), the topping is great but the
crust is a bit different. I may try for a trip to Groton to see some old
Submarine Force pals, maybe I can make part of your Clam Shack tour. Love the
website and forum."

My Response:

Thanks Mike.

Sounds like you are going to have a fantastic trip.
I appreciate the support. Hey it would be great if you could post a report of your journey somewhere on the forum.

Have a wonderful time. Please let me know how you make out.
I would also be very interested in the pizza you find in Ireland.

As well as great emails, I also get a lot of great pictures, too.  For example, this one is from Dee...

4. Pining for Pizza Perfection

Jon Bonné, MSNBC, writes about his own personal pizza quest. His pizza adventures take him all over the country.

Along the way he speaks with Ed Levine, author of Pizza A Slice of Heaven. Levine as usual is not at a loss for words. Levine considers New York, the center of the Pizza Universe.

He quotes Peter Reinhart author of American Pie, who says: “The pizza becomes the vehicle through which the pizza maker and the pizza eater connect in a soulful manner.”

He mentions, he still dreams of the incredible pizzas made at  Fank Pepe's or Sally's, on Wooster Street in New Haven, Connecticut.

He gives, my friend, Brian Spangler of Apizza Scholls in Portland Oregon, a nod as being one the most famous up and coming pizza artisans in the country.

He also gives lots of credit to the incredible pizzas created by Chris Bianco of Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix, Arizona.

You can read Jon's article here: Pining for a perfect pizza.

I want to recommend to you, my Pizza Fan, (and to you, Jon,): please check out Legends of Pizza, for further insights from Peter Reinhart, Gary Bimonte (Pepe's) and Chris Bianco. Here is the link:

5. Barry's Dough Recipe

Barry wanted to share the following with Pizza News Readers:

"Albert,

You might like to try this recipe for dough. I make it from
time to time and it performs very well. It used a preferment, so the
casual "What should we have for dinner?" crowd might not like it, but for
those of us who plan ahead, it's a winner.

Poolish:

6 ounces Bread flour
6 ounces water
1/2 teaspoon yeast.

Mix up well. Place in a covered container and let sit on the
counter for
2-3 hours.


Dough:

All the Poolish
6 ounces Bread flour
3 ounces semolina
3 1/2 ounces water
1/2 teaspoon yeast
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Mix up and then knead until smooth.


Let rise 30 minutes.
Turn and fold the dough.
Let rise 30 minutes more.

Turn out the dough and deflate it.
Let the dough rest for 10-20 minutes.

Pat out as you like, but this dough can survive being spread
really thin.
If you like, coat the dough very lightly with olive oil to seal
the surface.

Load with your favorite toppings, but if you put on too much,
things turn soggy.

Bake at 550 or higher for 7-9 minutes.

Try this; I guarantee you'll love it.

Barry"
