# 7 Vegetarian Pizza Party
hands-on
The Egyptians may have invented pizza, but the Italians defined
it, and the rest of the world continues to improvise on this popular
classic. In this hands-on class you'll learn the basics: the trinity
of dough, sauce, and toppings. You'll prepare a variety of flavorful
doughs (multi-grain, whole wheat, rye and spelt) and an all-purpose
sauce to create variations on the theme. Students will mix and match
ingredients so that everyone will make at least three different
pizzas. The menu includes: Onion Pizza with Olives and Roasted
Peppers; Goat Cheese, Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Pizza; Wild Mushroom
and Roasted Garlic Pizza; Pesto Pizza; Tapenade Pizza; as well as
some of the classics. (Some optional dairy will be used and
organic beer will be served.)
b) 1 Friday, May 9, 6:00 - 9:30 p.m.
