Monday, June 19th ● 6:30 - 9:00 pm ● "Perfect Homemade Pizza" ● Hands On Class ● Brad Dillon - Black Sheep Bake Shop & Brad's Designer Breads ● $60.00  While perfecting bread and scone recipes, and after taking a pizza class in Italy, Brad has been secretly perfecting a pizza dough recipe, or two, for his own use, and the pizza making technique, which he is now prepared to share with the world. Pizza is the ultimate simple comfort food that everybody can love, when done right. Get over marina, mozzarella and pepperoni, and up your game with multiple types of cheeses (including Gorgonzola), sauces (fig jam anyone?), and fruits (apples and grapes), among other things. Use up that leftover salsa and andouille before it goes bad. Turn up the Heat! Brad will give you the knowledge of how to properly mix, shape, and bake your own pizza. After this class, and with a little planning on a work night you should be able to get a pizza in the oven in 30 minutes, so you will have time to pour yourself a glass of wine and change your clothes before you eat. This is a hands-on class, so wear something that looks good with flour on it, and a little sauce. You will mix dough to take home and bake later, and assemble a pie to take home and bake that day, or sometime soon. If you have any favorite ingredients to use on your own pizza, bring them along.
