Flour to Fire Experience — learn how to make incredible pizza from scratch.
Join me for a hands-on pizza workshop where you’ll learn the secrets to making great Neopolitan style pizza at home, from mixing the dough right through to stretching, topping and cooking your very own pizza.
This is a practical, relaxed and seriously tasty experience. No previous pizza-making experience is needed just bring your appetite!
More than just a pizza workshop…
You’ll be spending the day at the vineyard, so we’ve packed a little extra into the experience.
☕ Arrive, relax & settle in
On arrival, you’ll be welcomed with tea and coffee while we get everyone settled and ready for the day.
🍺 Drinks throughout the workshop
There’ll also be a chilled drinks selection available throughout the day, including beers, ciders and soft drinks.
We want everyone to relax, enjoy themselves and make the most of the experience, so drinks are included to be enjoyed responsibly and sensibly throughout the workshop.
What you’ll learn
We’ll start with the most important part of any great pizza: the dough.
You’ll learn how to make your own pizza dough from scratch, including the ingredients, ratios and techniques that make the difference between an average pizza and a brilliant one.
We’ll cover:
- How to mix pizza dough by hand
- Different mixing and kneading techniques
- Understanding fermentation and why it matters
- How to handle and work with your dough
- How to stretch a pizza base without tearing it
- How to achieve the perfect thickness and crust
- Choosing great toppings and balancing flavours
- How much topping is too much!
- Getting your pizza ready for the oven
- How to cook your pizza for the perfect base and crust
- Tips and tricks you can take home and use again and again
This isn’t a demonstration where you simply watch someone else make pizza.
You’ll make your own dough from scratch — and you’ll leave with 1kg of your very own pizza dough to take home.
You’ll learn exactly how to look after it and when it’s ready to use, so you can continue the experience at home.
Have a pizza oven? Even better. Your dough can be ready to cook the following day, giving you the chance to put everything you’ve learned into practice.
Don’t have a pizza oven? No problem. I’ll show you how to get the best possible results using a standard home oven, including tips for getting a great crust without specialist equipment.
We’ll work through the process together, giving you plenty of hands-on time to practise your dough handling, stretching and topping techniques before cooking your creations.
Expect plenty of flour, plenty of food and a few lessons learned along the way!
This is a four-hour, hands-on pizza experience designed to give you the skills and confidence to make seriously good pizza at home.
Whether you’re a complete beginner, a pizza obsessive or someone who simply wants to improve their skills, you’ll leave with new techniques, new ideas, and a kilo of dough.
What to bring
Please bring a Tupperware-style container large enough to hold 1kg of dough so you can safely take your dough home with you.
There will be pre prepared dough that we can make pizza with on the day - your dough is specially for you to take home and enjoy with your friends or family ** or eat it all yourself!
Limited spaces are available for each workshop to keep the experience relaxed, personal and hands-on.
