Pizza Course: The Art & Science of Dough
Discover the craft behind truly exceptional pizza in Richemont Masterbaker’s hands-on Pizza Course led by European Pizza Champion Chef Enrico. Under Chef Enrico’s guidance, this immersive experience teaches you how dough behaves, how structure is built, and how great pizza is engineered.
With Chef Enrico, you will prepare four signature creations that highlight different textures, baking styles, and flavor profiles:
• Pepperoni Hot Honey
• Chicken Truffle Cream Pizza
• Classic Margherita
• Tiramisu Calzone
Throughout the session, Chef Enrico will walk you through the fundamentals that define regional pizza styles and professional results, including:
• Hydration levels and their impact on structure, chew, and flavor
• Fermentation and proofing techniques for optimal rise and elasticity
• Baking methods using deck ovens, convection ovens, and pizza stones
• Knuckle shaping and slap shaping for refined dough-handling skills
Working closely with Chef Enrico and three dough types: thin crust, deep dish, and calzone, you will learn how science, technique, and timing come together to create consistent, high-quality pizza across multiple styles.
