Italian Cooking: Focaccia e Pizza

Let's play with yeast dough! Join Cristina Garrasi to learn how to make 3 delicious Italian yeast dough delicacies. The first, "Focaccia Toscana" is the sweeter cousin of savory foccacia that you might be familiar with. "Foccacia Toscana" blends sugar and sometimes other sweet ingredients into the dough. It's a cross between a breakfast pasty and a light dessert. If you love French Brioche, you're going to love "Foccacia Toscana".

Second, you'll try your hand at homemade pizza dough. Move over frozen pizza and take a hike high-cost restaurant pizza! It's easier than you think, and you don't even need a brick oven!

Your delicious bread dough adventure ends with "Danubio Salato" a savory Italian pull-apart bread roll recipe where individual balls of soft dough are filled with cubed ham and cheese, then baked together.

Hello, my name is Cristina. I’m not a chef but I have prepared meals for my family my entire life. I'm always learning something new. I was born in Salerno, Campania, close to the Amalfi coast. I inherited from my mom the love for cooking and eating well. For me, time spent in the kitchen is fun and pure joy when you get to eat the delicious meals you prepare. I travelled within Italy and I’m still amazed at how much variety there is. I lived in Salerno, Florence and Milan and have many memories associated with food. Around a table you eat, you laugh, you restore your energy and soul. Preparing a good and healthy meal is an act of love to yourself and your family, hope to see you in class!
