AMATEUR PIZZA COURSE

Pizza is the most famous and consumed Italian dish in the world besides being a symbol of conviviality at the table. In recent years inside Italian homes and beyond there has been a rekindled desire to knead, bake and stuff one’s own pizza to share with family, friends or on special occasions. Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli offers an amateur course in which you will be a professional pizza maker for a day. You will make a classic round pizza with all the techniques and tricks of a true professional: from rolling out the pizza to baking in a professional oven. You’ll also learn to recognize the high-quality raw materials needed to make pizza in the pan as you would in a pizzeria, discovering all the secrets from kneading to rising, from stuffing to baking in professional and home ovens. Our Master Instructors will take you through this experience where you will gain skills, techniques and abilities to make the perfect pizza at home.

The course is aimed at those who wish to enter the world of pizza without embarking on a professional path by discovering the secrets of creating a quality product even at home. To pizza lovers who want to learn and deepen the theory and practice necessary to make classic round and pan pizza at home as well as in a pizzeria.
