Gather your colleagues, friends, or family for a one-of-a-kind outdoor pizza-making class in a San Francisco Park! This hands-on cooking class combines the art of sourdough pizza making with the joy of cooking and eating together outdoors.

What you'll do:
  • Stretch your dough: Learn how to gently stretch and shape sourdough pizza dough by hand, creating a light, airy crust.
  • Get creative with toppings: Choose from an abundant spread of seasonal vegetables, fresh herbs, cheeses, and homemade sauces to create your own signature pizza.
  • Fire up your pizza: Learn how to launch and bake your creation in a high-temperature outdoor pizza oven, achieving a beautifully puffed, blistered crust in just minutes.
  • Feast together: Enjoy your freshly baked pizzas alongside a seasonal salad and refreshments in a relaxed park setting.
No previous cooking experience is needed, and all ingredients, equipment, and instruction are provided. If you're looking for an extra special day in the park, this pizza-making class is perfect for anyone seeking unique date ideas, birthday ideas, team-building activities, or fun things to do in SF with friends!

What happens if the weather is bad?
Since this is an outdoor experience, we're happy to discuss alternative arrangements if the forecast calls for rain or other unsuitable weather. We'll coordinate with your group in advance to determine the best plan.
Do we get to take sourdough starter home?
Yes! I recommend guests bring their own small jar or ziplock bag (even a piece of plastic wrap or aluminum foil works!) if they'd like to take some starter home.
Do we make the sourdough pizza dough from scratch?
You'll work with naturally fermented sourdough pizza dough that has been prepared in advance, since proper fermentation takes time. During the workshop, you'll learn about the dough-making and fermentation process before stretching, shaping, topping, and baking your own pizza in our outdoor pizza oven.
Can we get your sourdough pizza recipe?
Of course! Guests who take my class will receive my sourdough pizza dough recipe along with tips and tricks.

As a Chinese-American, some of my strongest memories revolve around food – making dumplings with family, gathering around home-cooked meals, and learning that food is about much more than putting food in our bellies. It's culture, tradition, creativity, and a way of bringing people together.
Professionally, I spent several years working in the food industry as a marketer for consumer food brands. While I enjoyed telling food stories, I eventually realized what excited me most wasn't selling products but empowering people to live healthier lives by cooking more foods from scratch.
That led me to start Wholesomely Jane, a series of intimate cooking workshops in San Francisco focused on traditional techniques, from-scratch cooking, and culinary skills that build confidence in the kitchen. Whether we're hand-shaping sourdough English muffins or wrapping zongzi for Dragon Boat Festival, my goal is to help students understand not just what to do, but the why and how behind each step. I love breaking down techniques step-by-step so students leave with real understanding rather than simply following instructions.
When I'm not teaching, you'll usually find me baking sourdough, sewing an outfit, hiking with friends, and dreaming up new workshops. I'm especially passionate about preserving culinary traditions that are often passed down informally from generation to generation.
What I love most about teaching is watching someone go from "I've never done this before" to "I can't believe I made that." Those moments of confidence, curiosity, and connection are what Wholesomely Jane is all about.
