With 81 classes available across 53 schools nationwide, pizza and focaccia making has become one of the most accessible baking disciplines in the UK. Sessions typically cost from £10, with most classes priced around £95 and running for about 3 hours, giving you plenty of time to master the fundamentals of dough making and wood-fired oven techniques.
London leads with 9 schools offering these classes, followed by Liverpool and Bath with 2 schools each. Students focus on making pizza dough from scratch, learning proper kneading and shaping techniques, and understanding how hydration and proving time affect the final base. Many classes include wood-fired oven baking, teaching you how high heat transforms simple dough into crispy, chewy perfection.
The hands-on nature means you'll typically take home all the pizzas, focaccia and garlic bread you've made during the session, with some classes producing 2 pizzas per student.
