What you'll do

If you're hungry to learn new cooking skills and looking for new things to make at home, this online pizza making class could be just for you. Your expert teacher will help you grasp professional pizzarista techniques for authentic, artisan pizza in any domestic or wood-fired oven!

You'll start with a run-down of the essential pizza making equipment before covering dough, sauces, toppings, basic ingredients and the importance of sourcing local, organic produce.

Learning to read your dough is as important as being able to read the recipe for making it. That means understanding the dough in all its moods and modes, knowing how to shape it into balls, then into pizza. You'll get plenty of practice at reading your dough and lots of exercises in shaping it.

Next up comes sauces. Your teacher will cover everything from the classic tomato sauces to homemade pesto and even onion marmalade. You'll also learn how to make infused garlic and chilli oils and other little finishing touches to add once your pizza has baked.

At the end of this virtual class, you'll have all the skills needed to make your dough a star of the show and fifteen inspiring pizza recipes to challenge you in the kitchen.

In this online class, you will learn how to:

Read your dough, and master all its stages.
Make and shape an extensive range of different doughs.
Concoct delectable sauces.
Design a balanced flavour profile for topping ingredients.
Create finishing touches that will really elevate your pizza.

Please note:
Recipes and print-outs on tips/techniques are included, but students are also welcome to photograph their work at various stages and send them to The Artisan Bakery School for review.

In 2008, bakers Dragan and Penny were among the pioneers in teaching microbakery business courses and among the first to sell real bread in Oxford. Now based in Devon, UK, their mission is to teach people how to bake real bread, pastries and pizza. Sourdough, heritage and gluten-free breads are their specialities.

Dragan's fascination with breadmaking was born of necessity in the mid seventies, when he first arrived in the UK. The bread in England then was, and still largely is, fast to produce and chemically induced. Coming from a macho culture, barely able to fry an egg, he was forced to learn how to bake a decent loaf, just to survive. Dragan's greatest pleasure is when people come to them saying that they can finally eat bread again because properly fermented dough is easy to digest.

Penny was fortunate enough to have a mother and two grandmothers who were all great cooks, and happy to have their kids in the kitchen. The teaching came almost by osmosis. Penny’s lifelong passion for creating good food made it natural for her to bake bread, but it wasn’t until she met Dragan that she really developed those skills.

“We can only change the way people bake and think about bread one person at a time. But if we do it often enough, for long enough, we will contribute to positive change. That’s our reason for being."
