PREP WORK
Some of our classes require a little active prep work (15 to 45 minutes) the day or two before. We are teaching you how to make professional quality pizza. For that you need outstanding crust and for that you need outstanding dough. Outstanding dough comes in part from a long fermentation process which gives the dough structure depth of flavor and makes the dough so easy to work with (soft and elastic).
If you want a pizza dough to be ready in 2 or 3 hours we can send you a recipe for that and it will be good but not outstanding. You don’t need a class for making ‘same day’ pizza dough. This class is for those who want to understand and learn how to make truly exceptional pizza.
