What You'll Learn
All About Pizza Ovens*
Learn why a pizza oven is an essential tool for making pizzas at home, what to consider when selecting an oven and a few techniques you’ll want to master to get started. It's pizza oven 101!
Two Artisan Pizzas
Make a Colorful Neapolitan Pizza featuring beet-dyed dough and Crema di Zucca (a delcious pumpkin-based sauce), as well as a Crispy Thin Pizza** with roasted fingerling potatoes (prepared in the oven) and Lemon Cream Sauce.
One Fun Focaccia!
Change it up with a "no-fuss" focaccia – a simplified formula that introduces a few new baking techniques including a falling-temperature, two-step baking process and an oven door (if you've got one).
*Although the class is broadly applicable to all types of pizza oven, it focuses on portable, gas-powered versions due to the flexibility of baking and constraints of filming indoors.
**An active sourdough starter is required for the Crispy Thin Pizza. If you don't have one, basic instructions are provided on how to create and maintain a sourdough starter.
