Join an English-speaking Italian chef to learn how to make authentic Roman pizza and traditional gelato in a hands-on cooking class near the Colosseum.

Highlights

• Create your pizza dough with guidance from experienced chefs
• Learn key secrets and techniques for Roman-style pizza
• Roll out fresh pasta dough and customize your toppings

Description

Under the instruction of an English-speaking Italian chef, discover how to knead pizza dough following a tradition practiced in Rome for centuries. The Roman pizza differs from its Neapolitan counterpart, featuring a smaller, crispier crust known for its distinctive taste.

The class begins with preparing the dough, which requires some resting time. During this period, you will select from a variety of fresh ingredients to top your pizza. Options include savory Italian prosciutto, fruity black olives, and choices between a simple “Bianca” style without tomato sauce or a rich “Rosso” sauce.

Alongside pizza making, you will also learn how to prepare classic Italian gelato. Rome’s gelato shops are renowned worldwide, and the class reveals the techniques behind this cherished dessert. Understanding the difference between gelato and ice cream is part of the experience; feel free to consult the blog post: Gelato vs. Ice Cream: What’s the Difference?
