    Finally, Chris Hale was back in the building at [The Glassworks](https://www.iconinc.co.uk/locations/leeds-the-glassworks) last week! This was the second in the series of cookery masterclasses that he’s running for us at the moment but it was the first one I’ve been to because the last one was so popular I missed the chance. This month he showed us how to make a Middle Eastern flatbread with lamb, feta and mint, for starters. And for the main, a pizza from scratch, dough and all!

    First for the dough

    Around the table in the mega kitchen, we broke off into small groups of three to work on our doughs (one for the flat bread and one for the pizza) after a short demo from Chris. We had a great laugh as flour went everywhere while we kneaded and rolled. I think we got more flour on ourselves than anything else! Chris helped by heading from group to group, giving advice and stopping to chat and joke with us all. As we were kneading he was watching out for things like the dough getting dry and then he would tell us how to fix it. He also showed us how to tell when it’s ready to be flattened out with a rolling pin.
