Pizza Course: The Art & Science of Dough
Discover the craft behind truly exceptional pizza in Richemont Masterbaker’s hands-on Pizza Course. This immersive experience is designed to teach you how dough behaves, how structure is built, and how great pizza is engineered.
As part of the course, you will prepare four signature creations that highlight different textures, baking styles, and flavor profiles:
• Pepperoni Hot Honey
• Chicken Truffle Cream
• Classic Margherita
• Tiramisu Calzone
Throughout the session, you will master 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 to develop refined dough-handling skills
Working with three dough types, including 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.
