At home, I’ve been testing out a steam-injected toaster oven from the Japanese company Balmuda. It produces easily the best toast I’ve ever made and is excellent for making French Bread Pizza. By injecting the oven with steam at the start of the toasting process, then using intense radiant elements to brown the bread at the end, you end up with toast that is exceptionally moist on the inside and crisp on the outside. You can get the Balmuda toaster (and their other products) for 15% off until the end of March by ordering from https://us.balmuda.com/collections/frontpage and using the checkout code “Kenji_15”.

I have a podcast! It’s called The Recipe with Kenji and Deb and I host it with my friend Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen. In each episode we talk about the recipe development process–how we take a dish from conception to ready-for-someone-else’s-kitchen to show you what goes on under the kitchen hood when it comes to recipe development.

    NB: Lightly pre-toasting the bread (at like 350° for maybe 5-8 minutes) before any toppings helps with sogginess. Dries it out a bit.

    Italian Beef sangwiches are better soggy.

    ALSO: I feel like to distinguish this bread from real French bread, you should pronounce it "FRANCH" a la the dinner scene in "Better Off Dead".

    Ahhhh the gopro on the head format is back! Do some late night cooking aswell, they carried me through the whole damn pandemic lockdown !

    This solves so many problems I have with bread pizza… I'm going to try this again, after having given up on it years ago!

    What else are you using the sausage for? The thing I run into is if I buy some sausage for one recipe I don't always have other dishes in mind in the time before that sausage goes bad.

    What, no recipe to make french bread that takes 1.7 weeks to ferment? Where is the cheese recipe? We need a good hot italian sausage recipe. Seriously hard to find the good stuff in NC. They think fennel will kill them

    Thank you for the accessible recipe. The hardest part will be keeping the pepperoni safe.

    Gorgeous calico.

    i love this technique, i've been using it since yr last video! I do asiago on the garlic bread and mozzarella on top of the toppings, just feels a little more stable

    5/5 stars. Always love seeing it on cooking videos here and others like Fallow.

    I really appreciate that you are still doing the pov cam but I also like how you alternate that with other views throughout.

    As always you have made me hungry when I already ate. 🤤

    even though i understand, trying to explain how "air" is an important ingredient is a tough sell. There you have it though, Kenji and his bakery started charging us for air. 😉

    You know when you’ve got a warm brownie and ice cream and the brownie starts melting the ice cream and soaks into the brownie? I’d say thats soggy and also delicious

    Awesome video!! Love the POV and side camera set up!! There is something pleasing about watching you cook up something delicious from a couple items lying around your kitchen. It makes cooking feel that much more approachable and easy to do!

    French bread pizza was from Ithaca, NY?! I went to school there and that's news to me! Never had it, nor heard of it being a thing when I was there, but that's a really neat bit of info. Rogan's Corner had a great sheet pan style pie though, almost like a grandma/foccacia hybrid.
