Pizza in Pala and Roman style pizza are two typical styles from central Italy, particularly from the Lazio region. These are high-hydration doughs, simple in terms of preparation but with multiple variations that affect the structure, quality, and aesthetics of the desired product. The Italian School of Pizzaioli offers a two-day full immersion course to learn the main production techniques of both pizza styles, in the hydrated version, in the variant of classic soft pan pizza and focaccia. The course involves the use of different flours, with a particular focus on the latest generation of stone-ground, mixed cereals, and wholemeal flours in order to gain the right awareness of the raw materials to be mixed and learn all the possible nuances to customize the product.
The course is aimed at those who want to learn the various techniques of production, leavening, stretching, and baking of pizza in pala and in pans, both classic and hydrated. It is designed for professionals, pizzeria owners, and chefs who want to deepen the theory and practice needed to make two styles of pizza, highly demanded in the market, ideal as a gourmet base to enhance high-quality ingredients.
