Join our chef for a culinary experience celebrating the art of homemade pizza from the ground up. Learn the secrets to creating perfectly chewy pizza dough and a rich, flavorful sauce using fresh, simple ingredients. From kneading and proofing techniques to balancing herbs and seasonings, this delicious demo will inspire you to bring authentic pizzeria flavors into your own kitchen.

SOURDOUGH, NATURALLY
From starter to Italian pizza 

Join Silvia Zolfanelli, baker and owner of Silvialicious, for a hands-on culinary demo exploring the natural art of sourdough.

Learn about naturally leavened dough, how to refresh and care for a sourdough starter, and how to make pizza the Italian way—with simple ingredients, traditional techniques, and plenty of flavor.

And, of course, we’ll finish with a taste of freshly baked pizza!

Silvia Zolfanelli was born and raised in Italy, and my grandfather was a pastry chef between the 1940s and 1980s. This is where my passion for creating delicious desserts comes from.

While I’ve been baking growing up, learning all the secrets from my mother, only in 2017 I decided to start my own baking business, operating under the Texas Cottage Food Law.

I like to work with my customer to create unique design for their events, and I strive when given freedom of creativity. All of my creations are made from scratch with premium ingredients and no artificial flavours.
