| Pizza making masterclass with the Pizza Pilgrims |
For all of us foodies, there’s only one pilgrimage you’re likely to see us on this year - and that’s to the annual Taste of London festival, Regent’s Park.
I visited Taste as a guest of San Pellegrino and sipped on their sparkling fruit juices in a Sicilian inspired Orangery whilst enjoying some pretty awesome pizzas.
Thom and James, otherwise known as the Pizza Pilgrims, were also in the Orangery demonstrating how to make a tasty pizza the Italian way.
They showed us how to knead the dough and give it an adventurous toss in the air. Afterwards, you simply grace it with a smooth dollop of tomato, very little cheese and a generous handful of basil. It’s then ready to go into a pizza oven - harbouring an intense heat of 500 degrees.
As the pizza cooks in an impressive 45 seconds, there are two things to keep an eye on. The first is to achieve ‘leoparding’ – which means getting some brown charcoal spots on the pizza base by occasionally moving the pizza on the oven floor. Next, in order to give it some extra depth of character you might also want to try some doming, which is where you lift the pizza towards the fire in order to gain more sizzle on top.
Finally serve in a pizza box with a can of San Pellegrino Limonata, close your eyes and chillax!
