Pizza and Cannoli- two of Italy's most beloved creations, brought together in one fabulous cooking experience.
In this fun and interactive class you will learn how to master the impressive skill of making pizza from scratch! In this class you’ll learn how to choose the best flours and selecting the perfect topping combinations to mastering the secrets to a perfect crust. We will make one of Italy's well known pizzas, Pizza Margherita with extra toppings provided. It is a typical Neapolitan pizza, made with tomatoes, mozzarella, fresh basil, salt and extra-virgin olive oil. You’ll also learn a bit of pizza history, including its early beginnings, regional pizza variations in Italy and some other tidbits.
You will also learn to build your own cannoli, we’ll take crisp, pre-made Italian shells and focus on what truly makes a cannoli extraordinary: the fresh filling. You'll whip up a smooth, traditional sweet cream from scratch, customize your flavors with classic fold-ins like chocolate chips and master the proper piping technique to expertly fill each shell. Crisp on the outside, rich and creamy on the inside—you’ll leave with the skills (and the delicious results) to recreate this Italian favorite at home!
Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who is happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
