Cheesy, comforting, versatile and full of flavor, pizza is a food that’s impossible not to love. And today, February 9, we have even more reason to celebrate it: It’s National Pizza Day! This year, instead of ordering in, I’m opting for something a little healthier and fresher. I’m going homemade — or at least semi-homemade….
We like a puffed-up, pillowy pizza crust with a charred surface and a tender, chewy crumb. A combination of fine-milled, low-gluten 00 Italian flour mixed with a higher-protein bread flour helps achieve this result. The dough is mixed and allowed to rise in bulk, and is coated with olive oil while being turned at 30-minute…

He remembered how his mother, my Bubbe Mary, cooked for him when he was in a coma after being…
