Pizza Workshop

Hi Class!
On Tuesday, 15 students headed to Pizza E Musica to make our own Italian pizzas. First, we got a little history lesson of where pizza originates. For those of you that think, pizza comes for Italy. I'm sorry. 

The Dough

Toppings

Although I can't remember exactly what Julie told us, something about Egyptians and the Greeks... well, my mind was focused on what toppings I would put on my pizza. All I know is I believe the Italians have perfected it! 

Next we got our hands on lesson. This was my teacher. 

He is not originally from Italy but has been here for 11 years.  So he did his thing; telling us each step to know to make the perfect pizza. 

And then we did ours.... Chocolate helped out in the kitchen! 

The first step is to make the crust. 

Then you must place your hands in the center and make a circular motion. It's make harder than it sounds. 

Chocolate called over the professional. My pizza wasn't going as planned. 

Next it was time for sauce, cheese, and any extra toppings! 

Before your pizza goes in the oven, you must pick up your pizza with this large flat pan without tearing the bottom off! 

Then it's off to the oven. A good pizzaolio can cook 6-8 pizzas in an oven without burning them!  

It only takes minutes because the oven heats from top to bottom and usually is about 700F. 

So you take it out. 

Plate it. 

And enjoy! Chocolate and I thought the olives wer too sour! Next time we will try something new! 

After enjoying every last bite of my hard work, I had my first piece of tiramisu in Italy!

Can't wait to see you! 

Love, Ms. Deppen
