Preparing the Dough

First, the talented pizza chef guides participants through the process of making the special focaccia dough. They’ll knead the dough by hand, learning the traditional techniques that give the crust its signature chewiness and flavor.
Once the dough is ready, it’s time to toss and stretch it into the perfect pizza shape. The chef demonstrates the art of dough tossing, showing how to gently stretch and shape the dough into a thin, even round. Participants can then try their hand at tossing and shaping their own pizza bases, with the chef on hand to offer tips and guidance.
With the dough ready, it’s time to move on to the next step – preparing the delicious tomato sauce.
Crafting the Tomato Sauce

With the pizza dough expertly prepared, the chef turns his attention to crafting the authentic Italian tomato sauce that will top the homemade pizzas.
He begins by sautéing garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Next, he adds high-quality canned tomatoes, gently crushing them with his hands to release their juices.
A splash of red wine, a sprinkle of dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper complete the simple yet flavorful sauce. The chef simmers the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to the perfect consistency.
He tastes the sauce, adjusting the seasoning as needed. The rich, aromatic tomato sauce is now ready to be ladled onto the pizza bases, setting the stage for the final toppings.
Topping and Baking the Pizzas

After the chef has crafted the perfect tomato sauce, he hands each participant a ball of the doughy focaccia, guiding them as they stretch and shape it into thin, circular pizza bases.
With their personalized bases ready, the chef encourages the group to get creative, spooning the zesty tomato sauce over the dough and then topping their masterpieces with an array of fresh ingredients.
As the pizzas slide into the wood-fired oven, the air fills with the enticing aroma of baking bread and melting cheese. The participants eagerly watch through the glass as their pizzas are transformed into hot, bubbling perfection.
Soon, it’s time to savor the fruits of their labor – a truly authentic Italian pizza, crafted with their own two hands.
