The Secret of the Goodness of Wood-fired Pizza Discover Silvio Cicchi's Pizza Maker Courses

1 August 2023 silviocicchi

Dear readers of my blog,

Are you ready for a gastronomic journey into the world of wood-fired pizza? Today I want to share with you the secret of its goodness, a secret that hides behind the magic of dancing flames and the tradition handed down from generation to generation. Wood-fired oven pizza is one of the greatest pleasures of Italian cuisine and in this post, I will take you to the heart of his creation.

Pizza is an icon of Italian cuisine, loved by millions of people around the world. Each pizza has the power to take us on a journey of flavours, aromas and sensations. But what makes wood-fired pizza so special? It's all in the cooking process!

In traditional pizzerias, the wood stove it is an essential component. These ovens are made with refractory bricks, which can withstand very high temperatures. This allows you to reach an ideal cooking temperature, between 400°C and 500°C, which gives the pizza that crunchy and tasty crust that we love so much.

The secret lies in the speed of cooking. In just 60-90 seconds, the pizza is cooked perfectly, with melted cheese, the fresh ingredients and the golden base. This quick cooking keeps the flavors of the ingredients intact and preserves the goodness and authenticity of Italian pizza.

In addition to cooking, another fundamental aspect is the preparation of the dough. The Neapolitan pizza, for example, it involves a simple flour-based dough, water, yeast and salt. The dough is left to rise for a long time, in order to make it light and digestible. This process gives the pizza a soft and fragrant texture, perfect for accommodating all the ingredients.

To fully appreciate the process of creating wood-fired pizza, I recommend you to visit a real traditional pizzeria. Here you can experience the unique and captivating atmosphere of a kitchen where time seems to pass more slowly, dedicated to the art of creating Italy's most loved dish.

If you are passionate about cooking and want to discover the secrets of wood-fired pizza, vi invito a sign up for our pizza maker courses that we organize in our Silvio Cicchi Pizza School.

Exploring alternative flours for a healthier and lighter pizza

25 July 2023 silviocicchi

Hello to all, pizza lovers and aspiring pizza makers! Today I want to tell you about my experience in exploring the wonderful world of alternative flours to make our pizza even healthier and lighter. I've always loved savoring a delicious slice of pizza, but I realized that I could make this traditional dish healthier without sacrificing taste. It was a journey of culinary discovery that led me to enroll in pizza courses at Silvio Cicchi's pizza school, where I learned to create unique pizzas using different flours.

It all started with a passion for pizza that pushed me to explore new culinary avenues. I often frequented the neighborhood pizzeria, where I could enjoy traditional pizzas, tasty but quite caloric. My curiosity led me to wonder if there was a way to make pizza lighter and healthier, without compromising the flavour.

So, I started doing some research and discovered the vast universe of alternative flours. I never expected that there was so much variety and potential in the world of flours other than wheat flour. My adventure had just begun, and decided to try some of these flours in my kitchen.

The first alternative flour I tried was spelled. I had heard about the nutritional properties of spelled and wanted to see how it would behave as a base for my pizza. I mixed it carefully, letting it rise lovingly, and the result was a thin, crunchy base with a slightly rustic, nutty flavor. The pizza was delicious, and encouraged me to continue my exploration.

Subsequently, I tried buckwheat flour, which has a distinctive flavor and slightly thicker texture than farro. I experimented with different combinations of ingredients, and I found that this flour went beautifully with ingredients like grilled zucchini, goat cheese and fresh cherry tomatoes. It was a very unique and tasty pizza!

Determined to go further, I came across the flour of ceci. This gluten-free flour has added an earthy note to my pizzas, making them particularly tasty. One of my favorite chickpea flour creations was the “Pizza Mediterranean”. Based on chickpea flour, I added lemon hummus, olive, Red onion, it passes. The result was an explosion of Mediterranean flavors that made my mouth water.

But the real revelation was brown rice flour. This light and delicate flour created a light, crunchy base that lent itself perfectly to a variety of ingredients. I created one “Pizza Primavera” with this flour, covered in fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, peas and a splash of olive oil. It was an ode to freshness and lightness!

After exploring these alternative flours, I decided to deepen my knowledge and I enrolled in pizza courses at Silvio Cicchi's pizza school. Here I met other pizza enthusiasts and had the opportunity to learn from the skills of an experienced master pizza maker.

The Silvio Cicchi's pizza school it was a welcoming and inspiring place, and Silvio himself was a passionate and patient teacher. During the courses, we explored different alternative flours and learned the best techniques to work with them. Silvio encouraged us to experiment and be daring with ingredients, always with an eye to health and taste.

Thanks to the courses, I honed my pizza making skills and discovered more alternative flours, such as chestnut flour and lentil flour. Chestnut flour has a sweet and nutritious taste, perfect for creating fall pizzas with pumpkin, bacon and gorgonzola. Lentil flour, instead, gave birth to a soft base with a slightly nutty aftertaste, ideal for one “Vegan Pizza” con hummus, grilled vegetables and avocado.

My adventure in the world of alternative flours for a healthier and lighter pizza continues today. Silvio Cicchi's pizza school gave me the skills and confidence to explore new combinations of flours and ingredients, creating unique and tasty pizzas.

My name is Marco and I have been working in a pizzeria for several years. I started as a dishwasher and, over time, I managed to climb the hierarchy to become a waiter. Everyday, I immerse myself in a world full of pizza, delicious aromas and hungry people looking for a good dinner.

The day starts early for a pizzeria waiter. I arrive at work an hour before opening to prepare the restaurant, set the tables and turn on the ovens. Once everything is ready, the inviting scent of pizzas cooking in the oven fills the air.

As customers start arriving, my day gets hectic. I take orders, I recommend the daily specials and make sure every customer is satisfied. The pizzeria is often crowded, especially on the weekend, and I often have to deal with queues and complex orders.

The secret to being a good pizzeria waiter is the ability to remain calm even during moments of greatest stress. I have to be quick in taking orders, but also attentive to details to avoid mistakes. Each customer has their own preferences and special requests, and I have to make sure that every pizza is prepared exactly as requested.

Another challenge in my job is time management. Pizzas require precise cooking times and I have to coordinate with the pizza chefs in the kitchen to ensure that every order comes out at the right time. It's a synchronized ballet, where each team member has to perform their role precisely.

To face these challenges and improve my skills, I decided to attend gods courses pizzaiolo. These courses taught me kneading techniques, the choice of ingredients and the management of the oven.

Being a good listener is essential, because often customers have questions or special requests that need attention.

But it's not all just hard work and stress. The pizzeria where I work is a welcoming and fun place. I had the opportunity to meet interesting people and make friends with colleagues who share my passion for pizza. During the break, we exchange recipes, we tell funny anecdotes and support each other.

And then there is the satisfaction of seeing a happy customer after enjoying a delicious pizza. When I receive a compliment on the service or the quality of the food, I feel really accomplished. It is gratifying to know that my work has made an enjoyable experience for someone and that I have contributed to making the evening unforgettable.

However, there are also difficult moments. The pizzeria is a noisy environment and I often have to deal with stressful situations such as wrong orders or unsatisfied customers. But I learn to handle these situations calmly and professionally, always trying to find a solution that satisfies the customer and solves the problem.

I can't deny that being a pizzeria waiter is a difficult job. It requires physical and mental stamina, and I often have to work during peak hours when the restaurant is busy. But I am proud of what I do. I like the energy and lively atmosphere of the pizzeria, and I'm glad to know that my work contributes to making people happy through food.

In conclusion, The life of a pizza waiter can be exhausting, but full of satisfaction. Every day is an adventure, made up of new encounters, challenges to face and the pleasure of sharing a common passion for pizza.

Ciao, food lovers! Today I want to take you on a journey of flavors and traditions, sharing my personal story of discovering the perfect recipe for an authentic pizza with buffalo mozzarella. Fasten your apron and get ready to embark on a delicious adventure with me!

Ever since I was a child, pizza has always been a beloved comfort food for me. Whether it was a special family dinner or a meeting with friends, the pizzeria was our destination of choice. The aroma of freshly baked dough and melted cheese greeted us as soon as we set foot inside, making our mouths water instantly.

Recently, I decided to delve into the world of pizza and learn the art of making it myself. I signed up for pizza maker courses, pizza making classes that promised to teach me the secrets behind creating the perfect pizza. Little did I know yet that this decision would lead me to the holy grail of pizza toppings: the buffalo mozzarella.

During the courses, various techniques and ingredients were explained to me, but the mention of Mozzarella di Bufala sparked my curiosity. Our teacher explained that this particular mozzarella is made with the milk of domestic buffaloes, resulting in a soft cheese, creamy and with a distinctive flavour. Intrigued by the idea of its authenticity, I knew I had to taste it for myself.

Armed with new knowledge, I ventured to a local Italian market renowned for its selection of artisanal cheeses. As I approached the cheese counter, I was presented with an astonishing display of Buffalo mozzarella. Its soft texture and inviting scent tickled me, and eagerly asked the seller for a portion.

Back home, I carefully unwrapped the cheese and admired its delicate ivory hue. I could already imagine the creamy goodness it would bring to my pizza. While I was preparing the dough, spreading a lively tomato sauce on its surface, I couldn't help but anticipate the magic that would unfold in the oven.

Finally, the moment has come. I took the pizza out of the oven and the view in front of me was a work of art. The edges of the crust were perfectly browned, the sauce glistened and the mozzarella had melted forming a divine blanket over it all. The wait had been worth it.

As I took my first bite, I was transported to the streets of Naples, the birthplace of pizza. The combination of the slightly sour soft mozzarella and the savory tomato sauce created a harmony that danced on my palate. It was an explosion of authenticity and passion in every bite.

Since that transformative moment, I continued to experiment with Mozzarella di Bufala in my adventures as a pizza maker. I have discovered that its versatility goes beyond the traditional Margherita or Caprese toppings. It pairs beautifully with earthy mushrooms, peppery rocket and even delicate ham, elevating each pizza creation to new heights.

The journey to perfect my Mozzarella di Bufala pizza recipe has been extremely rewarding. Not only have I revealed the secrets to creating an authentic pizza, but I also gained a deep understanding of the rich culinary heritage behind it. The marriage of simple, high-quality ingredients like this cheese and a well-honed technique is what really makes a pizza unforgettable.

I invite you, dear reader, embark on your own pizza-making journey. Explore pizzerias in your area, looking for those that emphasize quality ingredients and pay homage to traditional techniques. Consider participating in the courses pizzaiolo, immersing yourself in the art of making pizza and discovering the secrets handed down through the generations.

And when it comes to cheese that will give your pizza an edge, look no further than the Mozzarella di Bufala. Its creamy texture and unmistakable flavor will transport you to the heart of Italy, where pizza is an art form. Allow yourself to savor the authentic taste that only this cheese can offer.

In conclusion, my journey into the world of pizza has been exciting and delicious. From visits to pizzerias when enrolling in pizza courses, and finally to the discovery of the incredible Mozzarella di Bufala, each step brought me closer to the perfect recipe for an authentic and unforgettable pizza.

Then, take your apron, turn on the oven and let the aroma of freshly baked pizza fill your kitchen. With buffalo mozzarella as a secret ingredient, you'll be on your way to creating a slice of culinary heaven that will delight your palate and warm your heart.
