About this tour
Learn to shape and bake pizza dough and churn gelato from scratch under a local chef's guidance in central Florence. This three-hour hands-on class walks you through both disciplines, then you sit down to eat what you've made alongside wine or soft drinks. You'll leave with a certificate and the confidence to recreate these dishes at home.
Highlights
- Knead, stretch, and fire your own pizza in a working kitchen
- Churn multiple gelato flavours from base to finish
- Eat your creations with wine or juice included
- Learn technique from an English-speaking Italian chef
- Receive a certificate of completion
- Small group keeps the atmosphere intimate and personal
What to expect
You'll start with pizza fundamentals: how to develop and work dough, build flavour, and manage temperature. Then shift to gelato—understanding emulsification, churning times, and the science behind texture. The chef demonstrates each step before you take your turn. Mistakes are part of the process; expect some lopsided pizzas and over-churned batches, but your final versions will be edible and yours. After roughly two hours of work, you'll sit together, plate up, and eat whilst sipping your drink of choice.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour on. The kitchen is in Florence's centre with nearby tram and bus stops. No dietary restrictions mentioned, so confirm any allergies when booking. You'll be on your feet for most of the session.
