Bungala House

Pizza making in the gardens of the 1856 homestead at Yankalilla. Knead, top and cook your own pizza, then eat it at the long table.

About the class

What you will make

You start with the dough. Flour, water, yeast, salt, a little olive oil – the classic pizza dough, mixed and kneaded by hand on the bench. You learn what the dough should feel like at every stage, how to knead it, and how to know when it has proved enough.

Then the fun part. You stretch your own base – no rolling pins, just fingertips and knuckles – and build your pizza from the topping bench: sauce, cheese and a seasonal line-up of local toppings. Your pizza, your call.

Your pizza goes in to cook while you clean the flour off your hands, and comes out with your name on it. Then the best bit: everyone sits down and eats what they made, straight from the oven while it is hot.

You leave with the dough recipe, the method, and the confidence to make pizza night at home a from-scratch affair.

Booking notes

Please note

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the popularity and limited capacity of our programs, a minimum of 14 days’ notice is required for any cancellations or rescheduling requests. This allows us adequate time to offer the spot to others on our waiting list. Cancellations made with at least 14 days’ notice will receive a full refund or credit.

Cancellations received within 14 days of the event are non-refundable unless exceptional circumstances apply, in which case a credit may be offered at our discretion.

Common questions

Pizza class FAQs

Do we really make the dough from scratch?

Yes. You mix and knead your own pizza dough by hand at the bench, learn how it should feel at every stage, then stretch your base by hand and top it yourself from the topping bench.

Do we eat the pizza on the day?

Yes. Your pizza is cooked on the day and comes to the long table hot. You eat what you make, together.

How long is the class?

About two and a half hours from first knead to last slice.

Can vegetarians be catered for?

Easily. The topping bench always has vegetarian options, and because you build your own pizza you choose exactly what goes on it. If you have other dietary needs, flag them when you book and we will do our best to have you covered.

Where does the pizza class run?

At Bungala House, the 1856 homestead at Yankalilla on the Fleurieu Peninsula, about 70 minutes from Adelaide.

Can we book a private pizza class for our group?

Yes. Birthdays, hens parties, work team builds. Send a private group enquiry →
