Keeping kids engaged during lockdown isn’t so easy. But it forces us to explore outside our known boundaries and try some new things. I had planned an evening with my friend Jo, and since it turned into a Sunday evening we expanded it to a family affair and with that the pizza masterclass was born.

The good news from an activity standpoint is that there are activities spread over mulitple hours: creating the raw dough, preparing the pizza canvas, designing the pizzas, baking the pizzas, and of course eating the pizzas. And through it, we also learned: yes, yeast is a fungus like mushrooms, it likes to eat sugar and enjoys warm temperatures, and when you bake it into the pizza crust you don’t really taste it.

With the first campaign successfully under our belt, I am ready to further explore the potential of what pizza making can be (I am thinking steak calzones next!!).
