Top Puglia Dining Experiences

This authentic pizza-making class stands out for its truly hands-on approach and professional guidance from an experienced local pizzaiolo. Unlike standard classes, you will learn not only how to prepare pizza, but also the key techniques behind dough fermentation, flour selection, and traditional Italian methods. You will create your own dough from scratch using professional tools, while discovering the secrets that make Italian pizza unique. Since proper dough requires time to rise, you will also enjoy a freshly baked pizza prepared by the chef using matured dough, allowing you to taste the true final result. The experience takes place in a relaxed and welcoming setting, includes a drink, and ends with a certificate of participation. Perfect for food lovers looking for an authentic, immersive, and high-quality culinary experience in Lecce.

Once the theoretical part is over, you will have the opportunity to “put your hands in dough” and you will be invited to try your hand at making your own bread directly. Followed by the Expert baker, you can shape and shape the bread, which will then be baked in the wood-fired oven by you in person, just as it has happened every day for generations.

The activity consists of an interactive cooking class where we will prepare a typical Apulian lunch together. We will provide you with an apron each and all the utensils to get your hands in the dough and learn every step and secret of our traditional recipes. Together with my husband Stefano we open the doors of our country house to teach you the Apulian cooking techniques that you can easily replicate at home. We will learn together to select the ingredients of our land according to the season, and while preparing the dishes we will tell you their history and that of typical products and local traditions. Afterwards we will enjoy lunch or dinner with a starter and concluding with a dessert, the classic tiramisu that we will prepare together. It will be an experience that you will carry with you forever, through which we want to transmit our passion for slow living, good food, nature and the products that every day offers us. We are waiting for you
