I stumbled upon a Pizza making class on Deal Chicken one day and ended up at Classic Cooking. Right from the beginning I could tell this place was great. We were walked in sat at a table and brought beverages (wine/beer/water/soda).
Chef Swartz was our instructor and came in and introduced himself and went over the agenda of the class for the evening. We then followed him into the kitchen to start our lesson.
While in the kitchen he went over step by step on the dough making process including showing us how to twirl a pie which I think it the coolest. I was able to easily follow along and take notes.
We then were turned loose with pre-made dough to make our own pizzas and calzones like we had been shown. The pre-made dough helped save time so we didn't need to wait for it to rise.
I chose to make a calzone which I put peperoni, pesto sauce, sun dried tomatoes, and cheese. It came out in just a few minutes and was excellent. I can't wait to try some more at home.
The Chef also went through a simple yet yummy ceaser dressing from scratch. I was amazed at how simple it was that now I think I will just make and bottle my own for use at home.
Overall this class was a blast and I really learned a lot about my favorite food and I can't wait to try making pies at home now. My attempts in the past just never turned out that good and now I see my flaws in dough making. I totally will look into another class or two as I think they are well worth the money even without the coupon.
