Learn how to make authentic Neapolitan pizza using a backyard pizza oven while enjoying an Italian antipasto and sparkling water in Frank Bosketti’s backyard. In this hands-on class, you will make your own dough, knead it, shape it, and prepare toppings to make the Neapolitan classics - Pizza Marinara, Pizza Margherita, and Pizza Soppresatta, or create your own masterpiece from a variety of toppings for you to choose from. Bake your pizza in wood-fired or gas-fired pizza ovens and learn proper oven management and temperature control to achieve that signature charred crust and perfectly melted toppings. You will learn how to launch, bake, rotate, and extract the pizza from the oven for a perfectly cooked pizza (in less than 2 minutes). Relax and enjoy your own pizza masterpiece, then take home the recipes and some pizza dough to continue your pizza-making adventure at home. Bring your apron, appetite, and some wine if you like. No backyard oven? No problem, Frank also covers how to convert your home oven into an impressive pizza oven.
