About this tour

Learn to shape and bake authentic Italian bread and pizza from local cooks who've inherited centuries-old techniques passed through their families. This three-hour class in Italy teaches you the fundamentals of dough work, fermentation, and oven craft, finishing with a shared meal of what you've made alongside craft beer or wine from the host's selection.

Highlights

  • Hands-on dough preparation with multi-generational family methods
  • Shape and bake your own pizza and loaves
  • Lunch featuring your creations with local beverages
  • Learn wood-fired or traditional oven technique
  • Small-group setting with practising cooks
  • Taste the difference proper fermentation makes

What to expect

You'll work directly with instructors at their cooking space, getting your hands into dough from the start. Expect to learn the logic behind resting times and temperature rather than follow rigid steps—each cook has slight variations refined over years. You'll shape at least one pizza and one loaf, watching how they transform in the heat. The final hour shifts to the table where you'll eat together, discussing what worked and why, with drinks included. Bring an apron or wear clothes you don't mind flouring.
