Overnight Straight Pizza Dough
This dough recipe has two advantages: First, the long fermentation allows the dough to develop great flavor. Second, its schedule works for people who have a day job. The timing works like this: mix the dough at 7 p.m.; then, the next morning, give yourself fifteen minutes to divide the dough, shape it into balls, and wrap and refrigerate them. You can use the dough that evening or anytime over the next two days to make pizza or focaccia. As with all of the pizza doughs in this book, use a high-quality all-purpose white flour, preferably 00 flour.

Dijon-maple Chicken with Brussels and Butternut
This glaze in this dish combines spicy Dijon mustard and sweet maple syrup for a nicely balanced flavor that's as delicious on the chicken as it is on the veggies. Brussels sprouts and butternut squash each take to the savory-sweet sauce wonderfully, and the hint of thyme makes it just perfect. I like using soy sauce instead of salt in the glaze because it gives it a fantastic depth of flavor.
