Pizza Making 101: A Hands-On Practical Workshop for Homemade Pizza
Join us at Red Hen Artisanale for an exciting in-person workshop where you'll learn the art of making delicious homemade pizza! Whether you're a beginner or a pizza enthusiast, this hands-on workshop will teach you all the tips and tricks to create really great pizza at home.
Together, we will discuss the different styles of pizza, yeasted doughs, topping inspiration, flours, and you'll get to practice your pizza shaping too!
There will be two different pizza doughs to taste and compare in this workshop -- a 50% whole grain dough, and a classic 100% white flour dough. While most workshops run by Red Hen Artisanale focus on sourdough, this workshop's recipes are leavened entirely with commercial yeast for simplicity and ease of recreation in your own kitchen. During this workshop, we'll be cooking the majority of the pizza in a Gozney Roccbox -- a portable pizza oven that can be fueled by gas or wood. We'll also bake a few pies in a regular home oven so you can see how easy it is to have excellent pizza in your own kitchen. This workshop will take place 50% inside of the studio, and 50% outside, when we are cooking the pizzas in the oven. Please dress appropriately for the weather.
We'll be creating and enjoying all kinds of pizza. A light seasonal appetizer will also be served.
By the end of this workshop you will:
:: Be very full!
:: Go home with a recipe booklet, and a ball of dough to create pizza, AGAIN!, at home any time over the next 5 days
:: Any extra pizza that doesn't get enjoyed during class!
Please bring a large tupperware container and a cooler to get your dough home safely! All other tools, equipment..everthing you might need..will be provided for you.
This workshop takes place at Red Hen Artisanale -- a private baking studio in the heart of Grey County. We are located right along the Saugeen River in a beautiful little pocket between Flesherton, Durham, and Markdale. The duration of the workshop will be between 2.5-3 hours -- it's meant to be a day of learning, but also some time to sit back, relax, and enjoy!
