This workshop is a comprehensive exploration into the art of pizza making. Here's what you'll master:

Developing the poolish for enhanced flavour
Delve into the secrets of poolish, a technique that adds a delightful depth to your dough, enhancing the overall flavour profile.

Making the dough
Learn the intricacies of dough-making, including the selection of flours, hydration levels, temperature control, and other critical factors that contribute to the perfect pizza foundation.

Shaping and forming pizza balls
Master the art of shaping and forming pizza balls, followed by the crucial step of proofing to ensure the ideal texture and taste.

Fresh mozzarella making
Elevate your pizza experience by crafting fresh mozzarella/fior di latte from scratch, adding a touch of artisanal excellence to your creations.

Tomato sauce making
Utilise the bounty of the Yarra Valley with fresh tomatoes and herbs to create a tantalizing tomato sauce, the heart of any delicious pizza.

Methods of shaping pizzas and adding ingredients
Explore various techniques for shaping pizzas and discover the creative process of adding a diverse array of ingredients, ensuring a symphony of flavours in every bite.

Cooking pizzas
Learn the art of cooking pizzas to perfection, from achieving the ideal crust texture to ensuring that the flavours meld seamlessly. Don't worry if you do not have a wood fired pizza oven at home, I will show you how to make the perfect pizza even in a regular kitchen oven.

Eating pizzas and drink pairing
Finally, savour the fruits of your labour as we gather to enjoy the freshly baked pizzas. Explore drink pairings based on the unique ingredients used, creating a holistic and unforgettable culinary experience.

Fresh out of the oven finale
Don't stress about the wait; a batch of dough will already be ready for a hands-on, fresh-out-of-the-oven pizza experience at the end of the workshop. Taste the fruits of your labour and savour the satisfaction of creating your own masterpiece.
