Make Valencian 'Pizza' in Ruzafa

About this tour

Learn to make coca, Valencia's answer to pizza, during this hands-on 3.5-hour session in the Ruzafa neighbourhood. You'll shop the local market with your instructor to handpick seasonal vegetables, then build and bake your own crispy beer-based dough creations. The naturally vegan recipe travels home easily, and you'll wrap up with a market-sourced lunch featuring seasonal sides and homemade dessert—sorbet and fruit in summer, cooked fruit compotes in winter.

Highlights

• Build coca from scratch with beer-based pastry dough
• Select vegetables at Ruzafa market with your guide
• Bake your own and eat what you've made
• Seasonal fruit desserts change with the time of year
• Naturally vegan throughout the entire experience
• Learn a recipe you can recreate at home

What to expect

Meet your instructor at the market and browse seasonal produce together, discussing which vegetables work best for topping. Back in the kitchen, you'll mix and knead the beer dough, learn the technique for a thin, crispy base, and assemble your coca with your chosen toppings. Whilst it bakes, you'll prepare the sides and dessert. Everything comes together for a proper lunch featuring what you've made, paired with market finds. Summer sessions end with homemade sorbets and fresh fruit salads; winter brings warm fruit puddings.
