The simplest recipes are often the trickiest to master. Jill Santopietro thinks pizza is like that. Join 18 Reasons for a pizza and mozzarella workshop. In this class, you'll learn how to make authentic Italian-style pizza and homemade mozzarella. We'll discuss flours, yeasts, doughs, ovens and temperature, as well as how to knead, make pizza sauce, and prepare toppings. You'll learn tricks of the trade that will take your pizza from just good to delicious.

Next, we'll pull mozzarella curd to show you how easy and fun (not to mention delicious) it is to make mozzarella at home. In just 4 hours, you'll be on your way to becoming the resident pizzaiolo of your house. Forget burgers, this Fourth of July stun your friends with the best pizza they have ever eaten!
