Cast Iron Pizza

Snow may be falling and winds blowing, but with your cast iron skillet you can enjoy the best tasting pizza at home. This class was such a smashing success we decided to offer cast iron pizza again. First, you will enjoy an Italian style salad with an Italian vinaigrette. Then on to pizza with recipes and tips for crusts, sauce and toppings. For a busy family evening, we will show you to prepare Quick and Easy Crust, with Easy-Peasy Sauce, topped with Italian Sausage and Pepperoni. We bet you will love the 24-hour Artisan Crust and we will top it with vegetables and goat cheese. And no pizza class would be complete without a deep-dish pizza. For a sweet dessert to end the class we will serve a treat from our cookbook, The Best Cast Iron Baking Book.  $75 per person
