The Art of Italian Dough: Pizza, Focaccia & Fried Calzone Experience

What to Expect

Step into the warm, rustic charm of a traditional Tuscan farmhouse and get ready for a delicious hands-on experience! In this fun and interactive class, you’ll learn how to make authentic Italian pizzas, soft focaccias, and irresistible fried calzones—all from scratch, using fresh, seasonal ingredients.

We’ll start by mastering the art of the perfect dough, exploring the right flour, hydration, kneading techniques, and rising times that give Italian baked goods their signature texture and flavor. Then, you’ll roll up your sleeves and bring your creations to life: top your pizza with your favorite ingredients, add herbs and olive oil to your focaccia, and fold and fry golden calzones filled with melty, savory fillings.

This experience is suitable for everyone—adults, children, couples, families, and groups of friends. Whether you're a beginner or a passionate foodie, you’ll have fun, learn new skills, and indulge in the joy of preparing and tasting your own handmade treats.

Come hungry and leave happy—surrounded by the beauty of the Tuscan countryside and the rich flavors of Italian tradition. It’s not just a cooking class—it’s a celebration of good food, good company, and the simple magic of homemade pizza!
