Class description

 

Where can you take a pizza and ice cream class in Florence?

At MaMa Florence Cooking School, you will be greeted by your English-speaking Italian chef to make a great pan pizza that you can replicate at home and a fantastic gelato.

 

What do you do in the pizza and ice cream class in Florence?

Your pizza-making class in Florence starts with the most important element: making the dough. After learning how to select ingredients, and mixing and kneading your dough, your chef will tell you the difference between different styles of pizza throughout Italy and discuss the original pizza Napolitana from Naples, the city where italian pizza was invented. Next up is a lesson in rolling out the pizza dough and creating a vast variety of pizzas with different delicious toppings, using only the freshest and best ingredients. Your chef might show you how to make a fluffy and light focaccia or crunchy and salty Coccoli fried pizza dough. Once your pizzas have been assembled, your chef will show you how to heat the electric oven just as you would in your own kitchen, so you can recreate these delicious creations for family and friends at home. And of course how to make the best gelato you have ever tasted!

 

Now for the gelato making! Gelato is the original italian ice cream, with a long and fascinating history from iced fruit to modern day commercial gelato. However, great Italian gelato is not as complicated as it might seem. Your chef will show you the importance of fresh, seasonal ingredients as your base and then you will create the gelato together, adding milk, cream, eggs and sugar in varying degrees or perhaps creating a fruit sorbet that is lactose-free. Your chef will explain the importance of avoiding chemicals during the process and also include unexpected ingredients like balsamic vinegar or farm fresh yogurt.

 

Is cooking course in Florence suitable for children?

This class is perfect for children, teens and families in general. And the delicious menu of pizza and gelato is sure to be a huge hit with even the pickiest eater.
