Finished homemade pizza with melted cheese, onion and mushroom
Workshop 03 · 3 hours

Homemade Pizza

A hands-on journey through pizza dough - from a quick same-day mix to a slow, flavour-building fermentation - baked both in a regular home oven and a dedicated pizza oven.

Read more

What we'll bake

  • Neapolitan-style pizza with Direct Dough
  • Neapolitan-style pizza with Biga (pre-ferment)
  • Bonus: Biga dough to take home, freeze and use whenever it suits

The session

Over three hands-on hours with Roy, we'll learn how to handle, stretch and shape a thin, light Neapolitan-style pizza with a thick, airy crust.

Roy demonstrates two approaches to pizza dough - Direct Dough and Biga, a slow pre-ferment - and explains how fermentation, hydration, temperature and dough handling influence the final result.

We'll work with both doughs, preparing and baking two pizzas, one with each method, and see and taste the difference when pizza is baked in a dedicated pizza oven.
