Dobbies, the UK’s leading garden centre retailer, has announced a free, exclusive virtual event with Ooni Pizza Ovens, to share top tips on making great pizza with keen cooks across Glasgow. This collaboration brings together two household names in the world of outdoor living and culinary excellence, offering a unique opportunity for pizza enthusiasts to hone their skills from home.
The latest in Dobbies’ series of virtual expert events this Spring, ‘Making Great Pizza at Home with Ooni Pizza Ovens’ will take place on 6 May at 6pm, with Glasgow viewers invited to log in. The virtual event, hosted by Ooni’s founder and CEO Kristian Tapaninaho, will share expert tips and tricks to teach Dobbies customers everything they need to know about whipping up an authentic wood-fired pizza, from the comfort of their own home.
Covering everything from rolling and stretching your pizza dough to choosing the perfect toppings, Kristian will also share the fascinating history of Ooni Pizza Ovens, along with a live pizza making demonstration – just in time for alfresco dining this summer. Ooni, founded in 2012, has revolutionised home pizza-making by creating portable, high-performance ovens that replicate the results of traditional wood-fired pizzerias. This event promises to delve into the science and art behind achieving that perfect crisp base and bubbling cheese.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to submit any questions they have, with Kristian answering as many as he can throughout the session. Whether you’re a seasoned pizza maker or a complete beginner, this interactive format ensures you’ll leave with practical advice tailored to your needs.
Kristian Tapaninaho, founder and CEO of Ooni Pizza Ovens, said: “I am so excited to host this virtual event with Dobbies, to showcase Ooni’s game-changing products. I’ll be sharing my top tips like how to stretch dough like a pro and how to choose the best ingredients. I’ll be answering any questions you have on how to level-up your outdoor cooking game. There’s nothing better than making truly great pizza at home.”
