What to expect
You'll start by getting stuck into focaccia dough, learning how the local bakers handle hydration and fermentation to get that signature texture. Once you've shaped and topped your loaf, you'll move on to pesto—pounding herbs and garlic the proper way rather than blitzing them into submission. The instructor will reveal why certain steps matter and which shortcuts actually work. By the end, you'll taste your warm focaccia alongside your freshly made pesto, plus local wine and snacks. Expect to be hands-on throughout; this isn't a demo you watch from a stool.
