The Pizza Geek | The Science Behind Pizza Making

The Pizza Geek is not your typical pizza course—it’s a deep dive into the science behind the art of baking. This course is designed for experienced pizza makers who are eager to understand the “why” behind every step of the process. I won’t give you a “perfect recipe”, I will not tell you “which is the best flour to make pizza dough”. Instead, I will explore the micro-level details: the chemistry of dough development, the biology of fermentation, and how ingredients and techniques interact to produce specific results. By understanding these principles, you’ll learn how to take control of your baking, troubleshoot common issues, and fine-tune your process to achieve the outcomes you’re after. Throughout the course, I’ll cover key concepts, including gluten formation, hydration levels, enzymatic activity, and the impact of temperature and time on dough. This is a theory-driven course with no hands-on videos, making it ideal for pizza enthusiasts who love to learn and experiment. Whether you’re a passionate home baker or a professional looking to refine your craft, The Pizza Geek will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to approach pizza-making with precision and purpose.
