International Pizza Expo 2014 Tribute from Pizza Therapy


Check out the most amazing pizza show in the World! Pizza Expo is more about pizza relationships, sharing pizza stories and making friends! It is one of the most incredible adventures I have ever experienced.
Without a doubt this was a life changing experience for me. I met some the most extra-ordinary pizza fanatics, I ever met. I learned more about pizza and the pizza business.
From the Pizza Expo website:
Pizza's Renaissance man, Tony Gemignani, will pass along some of his extensive knowledge during two presentations—the Pizzeria Concept Showcase and the Making Pizzas With Tony Gemignani workshops. His principal location, Tony's Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco, was recently written up as the best pizzeria in the U.S. by USA Today.

Part of the appeal is the extensive pizza menu featuring seven different ovens offering perfect temperatures for styles of pies ranging from New Haven to New York, Roman, Detroit, St. Louis and others. He also runs the International School of Pizza and has won numerous pizza-making and dough-spinning competitions.

Here is our tribute to Pizza Expo:

What is Gluten?


Tim Huff of General Mills Flour explains the role of gluten in creating pizza dough. Tim states that wheat flour has two proteins glutenin and gladden which when mixed with water give pizza its unique properties. Gluten helps the dough become elastic and also helps it to bounce back.
