Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five minutes a Day- Cookbook Video Promo
Pizza is one of those foods that makes all adults and kids happy. But homemade pizza is one that can not only warm the home, but get everyone excited to start creating custom “pies”.
Last month we traveled to Minneapolis to shoot the promo video for Jeff Hertberg and Zoe Francois’s new book, Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five minutes a Day. Both Jeff and Zoe have best selling books out already that you might already have. If you don’t already have these books, then they are a must on your bookshelf. Their creation of their no-knead dough has everyone making fresh bread so quickly and easily. When one thought that making fresh bread took a life time and a Ph.D degree, Jeff and Zoe proved them wrong and made fresh break making accessible, fun and successful.
Now their new book tackled homemade and handmade pizza in the same time it would take you to pick up the phone and call out for pizza delivery. Making homemade pizza is so easy and most importantly, fun. They have a wonderful recipe for quick and crusty pizza dough, along with a plethora of different pizza topping ideas. The selection of pizza recipes that they have in the book left us hungry even after eating 2 pizza’s each.
We set up the scene as a fun pizza party. Zoe and Jeff invited their friends and food bloggers: Stephanie Meyer, Laurie Jesch-Kulseth , Shaina & Ole Olmanson Michelle Gayer. Within a matter of minutes, we had Zoe’s beautiful, clean kitchen filled to the brim with fresh toppings, pizza dough and tons of flour on the floor. No pizza party is complete without flour dustings on the counter.
So hope you enjoy the video and join in on the Twitter pizza party. On November 15, make your pizza from the book, post it, and twitter it out to Zoe and Jeff at @ArtisanBreadin5 with the hashtag #PizzaPartyin5.
enjoy!

Love, love, love this! I usually make homemade pizza once a week with dough purchased from a local pizzeria. However, I am pretty sure having a big ol’ bucket of dough in my fridge would be cheaper and more convenient. The video is great and that shot of all of the toppings – amazing!
Is that a special kind of cheese on the Moroccan pizza? Or just mozzarella?
I love the video, Todd and Diane! You captured Zoe and Jeff’s passion so well. Their first two books are wonderful and their recipes have become a staple in my home. Fresh bread, and pizza, are some of life’s simplest delights. I’ll definitely be buying their new book.
I made my first pizza the other week, and it was delicious. It was a bit challenging to form the dough, though. I can’t wait to try the recipes in this book. Oh, and it goes without saying that your videos and photos are awe inspiring!
How fun. The pizzas look so delicious! I love the photo of the sausage and thyme pizza…
Love this post! Your pictures and video are fabulous! Such a fun day — hope we can do it again. Take care, you two. 🙂
You two truly have a gift. I can’t wait to grab a copy of the book!
I LOVE their books! I one and made a few different types of bread from it and love it. It’s so easy. I’ve been making fresh pizza dough ever since. I even make double batches and freeze some so I have it on the go 🙂
And of course, amazing photo’s as usual.
Love the video and the great ideas for pizza toppings. There is only one place in Atlanta where we will eat pizza. Otherwise, we make it ourselves at home. Can’t wait to try some of these great flavor variations! 🙂
i might just have to copy you and do my own pizza party! that looks like way too much fun to be left out of. xx
