course introduction

Jump Headfirst into Roman Pizza

Welcome to the 2 Day Roman Pizza Masterclass! In this class, you’ll learn everything you need to know about making authentic Roman-style pizza.

We’ll start with a brief history of the dish, followed by a crash course in dough-making. You’ll learn how to use the mixer, proof and ferment your dough, and get the perfect water-to-salt-to-olive oil-to-yeast ratio.

Then we’ll move on to oven usage, and you’ll learn how to make classic types of Roman pizza: pizza al taglio, pizza alla pala, and focaccia. Finally, you’ll run through a hands-on mock Roman pizza kitchen, where you’ll learn how to work in real-world conditions.

Lastly, uncover the secrets of crafting Detroit-style pizza. Delve into its unique characteristics, from the thick, airy crust to the distinctive rectangular shape. Master techniques for perfect caramelized cheese edges and achieving an ideal balance of sauce and toppings. Explore the rich flavors and textures that make Detroit-style pizza a culinary sensation.
