TWO-PART, HANDS-ON, FOUR HOUR VIRTUAL PIZZA CLASS – BEGINNER LEVEL 1
If you are new to pizza-making or have been struggling to make better pizza at home, this is the place to start.
To fully understand the craft of pizza making, we start with the fundamentals – gluten development, basic fermentation techniques and learning to understand TIME, one of the two “secret ingredients” that most people either forget about or never learned was so important. You will mix the dough by hand and learn how to ferment, shape, stretch, top, and bake.
We break this class up into two short sessions:
- Day 1: On the first day, we get down and dirty and learn how to mix the old fashioned way, by hand! We will teach you about bulk fermentation, and you’ll learn the magic of the stretch and folds. We’ll get into all of the details of dividing, preshaping, bench resting, and shaping. Finally, we’ll give you three different fermentation schedules to choose from in order to show you some of the traditional timings but also to accommodate your busy schedules.
- Day 2: Make sure you come to class hungry because we’ll be baking and of course eating pizza together! We’ll teach you multiple techniques to stretch your pizza and will also go over topping preparation, baking technology, and how to hack your home oven to get pizzeria-like results that we know you’re going to love. And don’t worry too much about toppings. We’ll show you our favorite recipe for Grandma sauce but really any of your favorite toppings will work.
We recommend this class for all levels, not just beginners. It will set you up to progress to our next pizza classes,Intermediate Level 1 and Advanced Level 1. All you need is a bowl, some flour, some filtered water, salt, and a pinch or two of yeast. But we warn you: you’ll have to roll up your sleeves and get down and dirty with us for this class.

I was glad I started with the beginner class. I’ve gotten more from this class than from the books and recipes I’ve read. If you want to make consistently great dough every time, this is the class for you. The class builds an outstanding pizza foundation. Being able to now turn out consistently great pizza after every bake has been very rewarding. You can easily stop with this class, but I’m sure you will get hooked on Noel’s classes. I thought I was beyond a “beginner” class and I was wrong. I am glad I started here. This beginner class is beyond “beginner” and extremely thorough. I would highly recommend starting here.

This was a great class to understand the basics and fill in knowledge gaps I didn’t know existed. I was already confidently making pizza at home, but I until this class I didn’t know what to look for. Now I understand what the various stages should look like while preparing dough. I am very glad I started with this class.

What a fantastic class to start your pizza journey. The class gets into some advanced topics but does so in a way that is easily approachable for those new to the pizza game. Noel does a great job keeping engagement throughout and the recipe is a great bonus. Noel’s classes are the best I have come across and I would recommend this beginner close to both those just starting out and those that want a deeper dive into the pizza game. Noel combines his deep bread knowledge to the pie game in a fun and easy to understand class. What are you waiting for??

This was the best beginner class I’ve seen available on the market, and I’ve taken a few. Noel’s step by step instructions accompanied with his great recipe that’s perfect for first time pizza makers made this fun and turned out great results. I got obsessed and have since taken the intermediate and advanced classes. In less than three months I’m turning out pies that my favorite pizza shop in my city commented on one of my instagram posts “great looking pizza”. This class in perfect for someone with absolutely no experience and can produce a result like a professional. I highly recommend.

Having recently completed the Two-Part, Hands-On, Four Hour Virtual Pizza Class – Beginner Level 1, I must say, it truly lived up to its reputation as a five-star experience. For anyone embarking on their pizza-making journey or seeking to enhance their skills, this class is an absolute must.
Throughout the course, every essential aspect of pizza crafting was meticulously covered, from the foundational principles of gluten development to the nuanced understanding of a certain overlooked ingredient – time. The hands-on approach employed over two engaging sessions proved to be exceptionally effective. On the first day, we delved into the core fundamentals, mastering techniques like hand mixing dough and navigating the intricacies of fermentation. The second session was a delightful culmination, where we put our newfound skills to the test by baking and savoring delectable pizzas together. The instructors’ enthusiasm was palpable, and their insights into stretching, topping, and optimizing home ovens for professional-grade results were invaluable. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pizza aficionado, this class offers a solid foundation for further exploration in intermediate and advanced levels. Get ready to roll up your sleeves and embark on a truly rewarding culinary adventure!
