Pizza Tonight?- 3 Different Quick Doughs

One of the greatest fast comfort foods in America is pizza of all types.  Whether it is thin crust, thick crust or somewhere in between, everyone has their favorite.  Many people are intimidated by making pizza at home because it all starts with the crust.  If that is you, then this is the class you have been waiting for.  Chef Hend Yahya will teach you how to make three doughs which can be made into pizza almost immediately, no need to proof overnight or wait hours for the dough to do its thing.  In this hands-on class you will make a Neapolitan style dough, a Sicilian style dough and a deep dish style dough.  You will enjoy eating several pizzas in class and take one home to enjoy on your next pizza night.

  • Neapolitan Pizza Margherita Style – Pomodoro sauce, buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil
  • Sicilian Style – Herbed tomato sauce, anchovies, kalamata olives
  • Deep Dish – layers of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, Italian sausage

Neapolitan Pizza and Wine Pairings

Authentic flavors from Naples Italy are possible at home using these approaches taught by Chef and Sommelier Bonnie Rae. In this hands-on class, Chef Bonnie will take you step-by-step through the process of dough making for maximum flavor development, learning the surprising impact that proper hand “stretching” has on the final product.

Classic Neapolitan flavors depend on the perfect sauce, which Chef Bonnie will share her recipes along with topping selections and combinations.  However, learning the process of baking the pizza to get the proper crust in your home oven along with techniques of grilled pizza base will demystify pizza making at home with these amazingly flavorful and beautifully blistered pizzas.

Oh, of course Chef Bonnie will put on her Sommelier hat and share two Italian wines that pair well with your freshly hand-made pizzas of:

White Sauce with Prosciutto, Arugula, Lemon and Olive Oil

Basil, Garlic Infused Tomato Sauce with Braised Fennel, Italian Sausage, Guanciale and Provolone
