Author Biography

Jonathon Schuhrke is a former cartographer and geographic information systems (GIS) analyst who decided a few years ago to devote himself to, you guessed it, pizza. “Making pizzas is what my hands want to do. Thinking about pizza is what my mind wants to do. Eating pizza is what my mouth wants to do. The love is real,” he writes. Since making the career change, he has become the go-to guru on the outdoor pizza oven, on his blog Santa Barbara Baker and on his Instagram and YouTube channels, as well as a widely respected creator of exciting new pizza recipes. He combines take-it-to-the-bank wisdom for troubleshooting pizza-oven baking—solving common challenges like the dough edges burning before the center of the dough is cooked, or choosing the ideal surface (steel vs. cast-iron vs. stone) on which to bake a pizza—with a wide-ranging palate that makes room for classic pizza-parlor pies, upscale European artisan pizzas, and pizzas made with adventuresome ingredients from around the globe. He lives and makes pizzas in Santa Barbara, California.
