Baking Recipes

There’s nothing quite like the smell of something baking in the oven, and you don’t need to be a pro to get there. Start with my no-knead Sheet Pan Pizza Dough for easy grandma-style pies, then try a golden, crispy Roman Pizza Bianca or the cheese-filled Ligurian flatbread Focaccia col Formaggio (di Recco). For something sweet, bake a simple but impressive Italian Pear and Almond Cake or a rustic Easy Apple Galette. And for weekend breakfast, there are puffy, golden Dutch Baby Pancakes, sweet or savory.
