Pizza Workshop

December 13, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Join us for hands-on pizza making with Chef Peter Conn. In this class he’ll share techniques so you can create luscious pies at home. The emphasis will be on thin crust pizza with fresh and colorful toppings, though we will also explore a simple, tasty focaccia with fresh herbs and extra virgin olive oil, pizzettes and calzone.

Learn how to make a quick & easy dough that can be ready in an hour. Plus, work with a long fermentation dough made with a Biga pre-ferment. We’ll practice hand-stretching techniques to build your dough confidence. Compare and contrast the different crusts to find your favorite!

You’ll learn Chef’s most popular pizza sauces: Quick Tomato & Basil, Classic Marinara and Pesto. With these in your repertoire, there’s an unlimited number of pies you can make at home. This class is for anyone who wants more hands-on experience making, shaping, and working with doughs.

Menu includes:

  • Quick & Easy Pizza Dough

  • Boulanger Pizza with Biga Pre-ferment

  • Quick Tomato & Basil Sauce

  • New Jersey Marinara Sauce

  • Classic Pesto

  • Ricotta & Goat Cheese Filling for Calzone

Our kitchen will prepare a variety of toppings and salads to eat with your pies.
