Here in the U.S., people are sometimes unfamiliar with authentic Italian dishes; by authentic, we mean the dishes that are not typically served in Italian restaurants in America. In fact, the average person would be surprised to learn about the dishes Italians prepare at home; often, they are things most Americans have never heard of. The good news is, we have an assortment of authentic Italian recipes you can make in our home pizza ovens! With our help, you can become familiar with dishes that are prepared in real Italian home kitchens.

One of them is panzanella, which is made with day old bread cubes and seasoned with olive oil, vinegar and salt, in addition to cucumbers, tomatoes and fresh basil, all of which is served in a large bread bowl. Another is peposo, which is a Tuscan beef stew dish dating back hundreds of years. To be truly authentic, the peposo should be prepared inside a terra cotta pot – and of course, cooked inside a wood fired oven. Speaking of beef, we also have an outstanding Italian beef roast recipe that includes a compound butter rub. The rub is made of minced rosemary, sage, garlic, salt and pepper that is mixed with butter – mmm!

We also have recipes for authentic Italian desserts that can easily be made in our home pizza ovens. One of the most popular is crostata ai lamponi, which we Americans know as raspberry tart. When you prepare it in an authentic Italian manner and cook it in the traditional Italian style in a wood fired oven, you’re bound to find it to be far superior to any raspberry pie you’ve had before. So, where can you find these authentic Italian recipes? We have them all over our social media channels, including our Facebook and Google+, as well as on Twitter @fontanaforniusa and Instagram at fontanaforniusa.
