Focaccia, Stromboli, & Calzones! OH MY!


Adult / Culinary -
Spring 2026

What makes a Focaccia a Focaccia, a Stromboli a Stromboli, and a Calzone a Calzone? How are they different? How are they the same? Discover the delicious answers to these questions as we explore the world of unique rolled & stuffed pizzas, marvelous focaccia bread, and an out-of-this-world pizza sauce made from the instructor’s own personal recipes. Using two different types of homemade dough—one crafted for pizzas and the other for the focaccia, you’ll learn how to create these Italian –inspired favorites step-by-step with confidence and ease. Participants are welcome to make them all or simply pick and choose their favorites to cook-along with, personalizing each creation with toppings and fillings of their choice. With rave reviews from past participants, this fun and flavorful experience just might make takeout pizza a thing of the past!

Equipment Needs: A 9x13 non-stick baking pan or a larger sheet pan will be needed for the focaccia bread. Additional sheet pans will be needed for the Stromboli and the Calzones. A stand mixer is highly recommended in order to be able to make the dough for both options during the class.

A list of ingredients and class details will be received in advance of the class with enough time for shopping and preparation. The Instructor’s Personal Recipes from this class will be included in a professionally made PDF packet to be received by participants after the class.

Note: One registration fee for this online virtual interactive class can include immediate family members living full-time in the same home ONLY. If children are participating, adult supervision is required. If friends, adult children, or extended family members are gathering for a fun night together, EACH household must register SEPARATELY even if participating together.
