Contemporary Pizza Napoletana


ID : 15782   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Neapolitan style pizza was invented in Naples, Italy and made the whole world fall in love with pizza. It is known for its simplicity. It’s not about topping your pizza with as many things as possible, but about finding the freshest ingredients, creating the perfect ratio of dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings, then enjoying the results - a perfect taste and texture. You will learn the seven basic guidelines according to the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana. First learn how to make high hydration pizza dough, how to bulk ferment, and how to make dough balls. This method will allow you to produce dough with lots of flavor! Then learn how to shape each pizza and bake a true “Pizza Napoletana” from the fresh dough Chef Yana has prepared for class. Finally, Chef Yana will bake your pizza outside in her Gozney Roccbox portable outdoor pizza oven, and then box it up for you to take home.
You will take home your delicious 10-inch Pizza Napoletana with a leopard spotted crust - a sure sign that it was baked in a very hot oven, and Yana’s tips and tricks for using a portable pizza oven.

Students must wear closed toed shoes and long pants, and may bring their favorite apron.
