While topped flatbreads were consumed in ancient Egypt and Rome,
Italians are credited as the people who invented pizza first. During the
1700s and 1800s, Naples was a bustling waterfront city especially near
the shore, where overcrowding and primarily outdoor living forced locals
to find quick, easy ways to feed their families. Pizza became a common
dish because of its limited ingredients and handy portability, but it
was considered a street food for the poor, unsuitable for the upper
class.
Little did they know how this seemingly simple creation would turn into
a global phenomenon.
During this 1 day course, you will learn from the world renowned Master Pizzaiolo how to make a classic Neapolitan pizza with a crispy, thin crust and fresh buffalo mozzarella, sans pizza oven.
