About this experience
Hands-on Florence pizza making class in a frescoed home
Diana is opening the doors of her fresco-painted home in the heart of Florence to host a Florence pizza making class that shares her favorite traditions with guests. This pizza making class Florence experience is designed as a journey through Italian heritage and authentic flavors.
The Masterclass: It all starts with a hands-on dough masterclass, where Diana guides you step by step as you learn to make pizza in Florence, preparing fresh dough from scratch.
The Aperitivo: While the dough begins its slow leavening, the experience moves to the garden for a relaxing Tuscan aperitivo featuring local ingredients and Chianti wine, making this a true food experience Florence.
The Technique: The heart of this pizza class Florence Italy focuses on the art of the Neapolitan stretch. Using dough matured for 48 hours, Diana reveals professional secrets on leavening and maturation before you dress and bake your own pizzas.
The Grand Finale: The experience concludes on a sweet note as your handmade dough is transformed into a traditional Nutella or jam-filled Dolce Calzone.
After years as a professional chemist, Diana decided to trade her lab coat for an apron to follow her true passion: the art of cooking. Having mastered the traditional Italian method of pizza making, she honed her skills at the Accademia Italiana Chef and gained professional experience at a top-rated Florentine pizzeria.
For Diana, there is no greater joy than the magic of cultural exchange: sharing her own heritage while discovering yours through the universal language of good food and great company.
