The Secrets of the Tonda Romana:
Mastering Crunch and Crisp

A hands-on Tonda Romana Pizza Class

Welcome to our PizzaLab, where we dive into the art of making the iconic Tonda Romana pizza!
This unique pizza style is known for its ultra-thin, crispy crust—a hallmark of Roman tradition.

During this hands-on Tonda Romana class, you will learn to:

  • Craft the dough with the perfect hydration and flour selection, aiming for a less elastic texture.
  • Master the essential dough-handling techniques, including: Puntata, Staglio and Appretto for the Tonda Romana Pizza Style
  • Stretch the pizza dough to achieve the signature paper-thin base.
  • Select high-quality toppings inspired by Roman and Italian flavors.
  • Bake your pizza in an oven optimized for crispness, achieving a delicate, crunchy texture. Baking at 2.5 3 min at 350-360 C.

We’ll be cooking the Tonda Romana pizza in an Ooni Volt electric oven, which allows us to precisely control both the temperature of the baking stone and the overhead heat, or “top element.”
This setup ensures an even bake, achieving the ideal crispiness and crunch that defines Tonda Romana pizza.

By the end of this class, you will have the ability to:

  • Create the signature crispy Tonda Romana dough with a controlled gluten structure.
  • Understand the importance of choosing the right ingredients, including sauces, cheeses, and meat.
