Craft your unique pizza in Palermo
Pizza is arguably the most beloved food worldwide, and there’s no better place to learn how to make it than in Italy. A seasoned chef will guide you step by step through the process of creating traditional pizza dough using fresh, local ingredients. You'll then discover the secrets to stretching and shaping the dough, adding mouthwatering toppings like mozzarella, tomato sauce, and your favourite ingredients, and baking the pizza to perfection in a wood-fired oven. Since you’re in Palermo, you’ll also get to see how the traditional “sfincione palermitano” is made—a thick, spongy base that sets it apart from the thin-crusted Neapolitan pizza. Watch closely as your pizzaiolo prepares this hearty dough, and pick up tips and tricks to bring back to your home kitchen!
A pizza to remember
Once your dough is ready, your pizza chef will guide you in stretching, saucing, baking, and slicing your creation. While your dough rests before it’s ready to be enjoyed, you won’t be left waiting idly. For those over 18, there’s a chance to sample some local wines. Then, you’ll dive into making gelato, Italy’s renowned ice cream. Learn how to create a smooth and creamy gelato base, add your favorite flavors, and churn it to the perfect texture. During the class, you’ll not only learn the culinary techniques but also delve into the rich history and culture behind pizza and gelato in Palermo. And, of course, you’ll get to taste your freshly made pizza and gelato, all paired with local wines.
Bring the culinary experience home with you
After your pizza and gelato are ready, it’s time to enjoy what you created. And there's more! You’ll receive a special takeaway—a digital recipe booklet—so you can recreate these delicious dishes for your friends and family back home, leaving them thoroughly impressed. This enjoyable and interactive afternoon provides not only a rich exploration of Italian culture and cuisine but also imparts lasting skills and recipes. Reserve your spot now for a flavorful and memorable adventure in Palermo!
