Prep your workstation
Measure ingredients and preheat your oven with your stone or steel at least 45 minutes before class so it reaches maximum thermal capacity.
Check time zones
The class runs on Italy time (GMT+1 or GMT+2 depending on season) — confirm start time to avoid missing the live demo.
Share allergies early
Notify the host ahead of time about gluten, dairy or other allergies so recipes and substitutions can be prepared.
Plan oven limits
If your home oven won’t hit 450–500°C, use a pizza steel/stone and the highest bake + broil combo recommended in the workbook.
Pizza stone or steel
Provides a hot, even surface for crisper crusts in a home oven.
Long-handled peel
Makes transferring pizzas in and out of the oven safer and more precise.
Digital oven thermometer
Confirms your oven and stone have reached the recommended baking temperature.
Mixing bowls and bench scraper
Helps with dough mixing, folding and easy cleanup during the hands-on portions.
