Jim Lahey’s pizza dough allows you to create the sort of quality pizza crust at home that you’ve only ever experienced at the best of Italian bakeries and pizzerias. And it’s easier than you’d expect.
This no-knead whole-wheat bread from Jim Lahey is quick to make but as good as old-fashioned bread. And with the added benefit of whole wheat and being done in less than two hours.
I’ve published another version of this recipe (for a thicker pizza) elsewhere, but it’s so much a part of my repertoire that I felt it would be remiss not to include it in the My Pizza cookbook, too. Instead of baking the pie as I usually do, I decided to use the same broiling technique you see in the cookbook. At Co., I offer this pizza in the menu section on bread—an indication of how much it differs from all the others—and serve it with some ricotta cheese for spreading on top.
Jim Lahey’s no-knead bread recipe turned traditional bread making upside down for all of us. Made with just flour, yeast, salt, and water, the bread is the fastest, easiest, and best you may ever make.
Kalamata olives lend this no-knead bread ample flavor while a long, slow rise brings it a bakery-quality crumb.
This pane bianco is a no-knead sourdough from Jim Lahey that's made with flour, water, salt, and biga. It's crispy on the outside and incredibly tender in the center. Here's how to make it at home.

Spooned on a Magherita, or any kind of pie, this sauce does exactly what it's supposed to do, adding the pure flavors of tomatoes without overwhelming the integrity of the pie itself.
This easy béchamel sauce is simply flour, butter, milk, and nutmeg stirred together into a rich and creamy and classic white sauce. The method here is quick and easy, fast and foolproof, yet creates classic results.
