Spend the day wrapped up in the aroma of a freshly baked, naturally-leavened sourdough loaf.
In this hands-on class, you'll learn the techniques for shaping, scoring, and baking artisan-quality, naturally leavened sourdough bread. Chef Cat will discuss starter care and maintenance and have you practice scaling ingredients, mixing by hand, and developing dough strength over a series of stretch and folds.
You will go home with your own loaf that was scored and baked in class, plus you'll leave with a professional-quality banneton bread proofing basket and bread dough that you will develop in class and can bake at home the next day. In class, you'll share the bread you baked accompanied by a savory cheese and charcuterie platter.

Chef Cat’s pizza making class was a great experience! My wife and I were new to pizza making but chef Cat made it so easy and fun that we ended up being really proud of the pizzas we made. She kept the class fun, engaging, and full of facts that made it informative and practical. Definitely recommend this class to anyone eager to make their own pizzas!

An amazing experience: the final product was unbelievably delicious. Never did I imagine that I will walk out feeling so confident about my pizza making abilities. The instructions were very friendly to a novice cook with clear rationale behind each step. Can't wait to try out making pizza with the dough we walked out with.

Chef Cat's pizza making class was phenomenal! We learned to make pizza's that could compete with Pizzeria Delfina. The class was very enjoyable and educational. Highly recommend going with a couple friends. We were fed well by the end of the night, had two balls of pizza dough to take home and a sourdough starter to continue to make more pizza in the future. This is the second class I've taken with Cat (I also highly recommend her sourdough bread making class). Cat is a natural instructor that has a ton of knowledge and an incredibly friendly demeanor.

Chef Cat was super nice and cheerful and passionate about the class. The setting was adequate and I like how we all participate and did so in groups sometimes. The instructions of how to following the class were a bit confusing even on the sheet afterward (for newbies). I wonder about having the sheet during class. The pizza turned out incredible and I made one with the dough I brought home. I was very happy with my results! I would like to give a tip also I see that's an option but also feel the class was pricey in addition to that.

Chef Cat was amazing! She was super informative and we loved that she split the class evenly so there was both group and individual instruction. Even with a class of 11, we got to be as hands-on as we could with the process. Everything was delicious, from the appetizer, salad, and the sides and toppings options for our pizzas. Chef Cat was friendly, easy to talk to and communicate with. We were also celebrating a birthday and Chef Cat was accommodating and very pleasant about it. Would 100% do this again. If you're still thinking about it: DON'T. Just do it. You will NOT regret it!

Chef Cat is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and she will help you learn concepts to improve your culinary skills. Cat is good at adjusting her lessons to accommodate students' various levels of experience. Regardless of your cooking proficiency, you will be able to practice what's familiar as well as learn new techniques. I highly recommend taking a class—or classes!—from Chef Cat.

My team had a great time at Chef Cat's class. It was fun to cook as a group, get our hands dirty and learn all about keeping a sourdough starter alive. The pizza we cooked was delicious. I highly recommend the class!

Very informative and well-organized. I have tried to make thin-crust pizza in the past, with very mixed results. Chef Cat made it very easy and clear. This is a hands-on class - we made pizza dough, and then we each shaped our own pizza.

I loved this class! It was fun working with a small group and learning everything about the dough making process, special sourdough starters, and properly shaping the dough. Pizzas came out great and I can't wait to make more! Chef Cat was awesome.

Never did I think I could make restaurant quality pizza. Tonight, I did it thanks to the fun and delicious class with Chef Cat. This was a Christmas gift to my mom and she loved it too. Not only did we get a great lesson in pizza making and a nice meal with other students, but Chef Cat gave us some starter and dough to take home. We've got enough to make pizza for weeks!

Cat was excellent - her knowledgeable of all things dough related was terrific and it is clear that she really is a "breaducator!" Would recommend the experience to anyone curious about dough and bread making -- the pizzas and bagels were fantastic!
