PIZZA NIGHT, SORTED
48 hours of fermentation. Zero dough-making hassle. Here's how it gets from our Dorset kitchen to your pizza oven.
We ferment our dough for 48 hours, portion it into individual proofing pots and snap freeze it.
Your frozen dough is carefully packed in insulated packaging for nationwide next-day delivery after dispatch.
Let it fully defrost and come to 18–20°C, rest for 10 minutes, then stretch by hand and cook thoroughly.
We pack it in insulated packaging designed for chilled and frozen deliveries. Put your dough in the freezer promptly when it arrives and follow the storage instructions on the label.

Defrost fully, allow the dough to reach around 18–20°C, then rest it for 10 minutes before lightly flouring and stretching it by hand. Do not refreeze once fully defrosted. Never eat raw dough.

48-HOUR FERMENTED • INDIVIDUALLY PROOFED • UK DELIVERY
Each standard 265g dough ball makes one generous 12-inch pizza. We ferment the dough for 48 hours, proof each ball separately in its own pot and then freeze it for delivery. Keep the portions frozen until needed; defrost, let the dough relax, stretch by hand and bake. No mixing or kneading required.
Every Dough Dorks dough ball arrives in its own reusable proofing pot, so it can defrost and relax as an individual portion without needing a separate proofing box.
The 48-hour fermentation happens before the dough is frozen, so the slow part of pizza-making has already been done.
HOW TO USE THE DOUGH →Each portion is proofed in its own pot before freezing, giving every dough ball its own protected space from production to defrosting.
WHY THE POT MATTERS →Standard 265g portions remove the scales and dividing, helping you make a consistent 12-inch pizza every time.
DOUGH WEIGHT GUIDE →Once fully defrosted and relaxed, the dough is made to stretch by hand for Ooni, Gozney, Ninja and hot conventional ovens.

RAW DOUGH OR READY-MADE BASE?
Choose dough balls when you want to defrost, hand-stretch and shape the pizza yourself. Choose our ready-made Neapolitan pizza bases when you want to skip proofing and stretching and go straight to topping and baking.
Both start with properly fermented dough; the difference is how much of the final pizza-making process you want to control at home.

PIZZA DOUGH BALLS • FROZEN DOUGH BALLS • UK DELIVERY
If you are looking for dough balls to buy online, the useful questions are how long the dough was fermented, whether each portion was proofed before freezing, how much each ball weighs and whether it suits the oven you use. Dough Dorks frozen pizza dough balls remove the long mixing, dividing and fermentation stages without removing the part you actually want to do: defrost, stretch, top and bake.
Slow fermentation develops flavour and dough structure before freezing rather than asking you to do the long wait at home.
Separate 265g pizza dough balls let you keep frozen dough balls ready at home and defrost exactly the number of 12-inch pizzas you plan to make.
Every dough ball has its own pot, protecting the portion while it defrosts and giving the dough room to relax before stretching.
Whether you search for pizza dough balls, frozen dough balls or ready-made pizza dough, the product is the same idea: properly fermented dough portioned for one pizza and kept frozen until you need it.

HOW OUR DOUGH IS MADE
We make Dough Dorks pizza dough in Dorset using premium Italian Tipo 00 flour, filtered water, fresh yeast, sea salt and olive oil. The dough is given 48 hours to ferment before it is portioned into individual 265g balls, proofed and frozen for freshness.
Freezing is the final preservation step. Fermentation, portioning and proofing happen first, so the dough work is already done when pizza night starts.
CHOOSE YOUR BOX
Choose the box that suits your pizza night — larger boxes give you better value per pizza.
FROM FREEZER TO PIZZA
Your 48-hour fermented dough arrives individually portioned and proofed. Defrost the number you need, then follow these five simple steps before cooking.
Once fully defrosted, do not refreeze. Always cook dough thoroughly before eating; do not eat raw dough.
