Pizza Cooking Class, October 11, 2012

Pizza is America’s favorite food.  I don’t have documentation on this, but if I did my own survey, I think I could justify my case.  I think most American kids would choose pizza over the all-American hamburger and well, for us adults, if you put a piece of quality pizza in front of just about anyone, I can guarantee they will love it.   It’s our go-to quick meal dish.  It’s what we order when we don’t have time to cook.   It makes a perfect party dish.  It is customizable to fit anyone’s diet restrictions and yes, even the gluten-free now have a pizza crust available to them.

My annual Pizza Class always gets rave reviews, including one from an 11-year old who has mastered the art of pizza dough.  Please join us on Thursday, October 11, 6:00 – 9:00 at the Holy Nativity Community Hall in Westchester, when we will be spinning flour, yeast and water into amazing creations.  Armed with my August issue of La Cucina Italiana, which features authentic Italian Neapolitan pizza using”00″ flour, we will be trying out some new variations on America’s favorite food.

I hope to take the mystery out of making pizza crust for you.  Using my One-Minute Pizza Dough method, we will make pizzas with all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour or “00” flour and top them with a variety of ingredients.  We’ll even make a dessert pizza.

At our August Garden to Table Cooking Class, we made the most amazing pizza on the grill.  Read this post.
