What Is the Sourdough Pizza Kit

This is the seventh box in a 12-month sourdough series that makes breadmaking even more exciting with a DIY family pizza night! You and your family will dock, stretch, and top pizza like professional pizza chefs. The slices will go fast from this crowd-pleasing dish, but the skills your kids learn and the memories your family makes will last forever. The best family memories happen around a pizza pie, so imagine the memories you’ll make around a pizza your family baked together from scratch.

What your family will learn

• The science of stretchy pizza dough: Learn how hydration, salt, and proper handling create flexible dough that will stretch, bubble, and result in a deliciously chewy crust.

• Crust shaping techniques: Tackle expert techniques for balling and stretching your dough into a crust that’s as perfect as the ones the pizzaioli (pizza chefs) make in Italy.

• Pizza baking techniques: From docking dough and par-baking crust to topping at exactly the right moment, master every step of baking the ultimate pizza pie.

Bonus Beyond the Bread Activities

• Challenge your palate with a flavor-packed taste test: Use salt to make sour flavor explode as you build your knowledge of how ingredients interact.  

• Make cheese fly in a chemistry experiment: Learn the consequences of leaving pizza dough undocked as you experiment with air pressure buildup to send cheese soaring into the sky!
