Italian Bread Making: Focaccia Classica

Bread is no exception to Italy’s variety of culinary traditions. Just like each region has their own traditional pasta shapes and dishes, each town and region have their own form of bread. Focaccia bread had its start in the Ligurian culinary tradition where basil leaves are present at almost every table. As you make your way through the regions of Italy, the herbs and flavorings will change from rosemary to oregano to olives, onion, and tomatoes. Bread making indeed is another artistry that can be rewarding and of course delicious. Is there anything better than tearing into a warm piece of Italian bread and knowing that you made the bread yourself? Join us at La Scuola with our store's Head Baker to learn how to create your own Focaccia classica in our workshop! In this class, guests will:

• Learn the Italian way of artisanal bread making.
• Explore the way of making Focaccia Genovese and its culinary tradition.
• Participate in a hands-on workshop to create the focaccia dough from scratch, then stretch out, shape and top their focaccia with seasonal toppings.
