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!

Wow I teach pizza making classes all the time but have never done this one bucket 5 minute method. I love this idea and plan to order their book right away so that I can share with my students another option for making pizza dough.
Great video. Thank you for sharing!
OK, this is my testimonial: Diane and Todd are visual geniuses, terrific storytellers, and are absolutely delightful people to work with– just look at this video they shot for us! I love it– what more can you say?
It wasn’t really work shooting this video, it was a party (even if we hadn’t been depicting a party!)—one of the most fun days I’ve ever had at “work.” I can’t thank you guys enough for making this video so successful, and I hope someday, somehow, we’ll have an excuse to do this again.

I used to have this total obsession with frozen pizzas. Total mindless guilty pleasure. Then I finally came across a dough recipe that reequired a tops of five minutes to put together. I posted it on my fridge and from that day on we make one batch of dough and eat pizza two times a week. It takes about the same amount of time to put some toppings on a crust as it does to wax on about how guilty I feel eating frozen crappy pizza.
Love – Love – Love this! I wish you were our neighbors… Intend to get the book and give it a try. My doctor would not be happy 🙂
That’s a party I want to have at home. Great idea 🙂
Gor-geous! Makes me want a pizza oven in my backyard….
Mouthwatering!!!
I’m loving these pizzas, this post, and this website! Can’t wait to try some!

INCREDIBLE.
And now I need a bite of every single one of these pizzas. Or else.
I have the bucket and a baking stone: I think the only thing I lack is a pizza peel.
I love homemade pizza. It is so much better and more personal that store bought or delivery. Loved the video!
Wow…che meraviglia, ciao
Killer pizzas…
Fantastic party idea (I adore the shot with all fixin’s covering the table)! In warm weather, this is also a great thing to do on the grill (helps to have a couple of grills, though), with plenty of cocktails and beer on ice.
So gorgeous…first, I can feel the love! I love the video and the concept of the book. Thank you so much for sharing this book, it’s going on my Amazon wish list. 🙂
Yum!! What a great idea.. that is definitely a must for my friends and I.
That looks like an awesome party. And what gorgeous pizzas!
Thanks for sharing the fun video 🙂
