What are Babadoh Dough Proofing Containers?
Babadoh Dough Proofing Containers are purpose-built containers for proving individual pizza dough balls at home. Made from premium LFGB-certified food-grade silicone, they create the perfect environment for your dough to rise and ferment, helping you achieve light, airy, pizzeria-quality crusts.
Each set includes 3 or 6 stackable containers with loose-fitting lids. The Classic size is ideal for a 250g dough ball (makes a 12" pizza), while Babadoh Big is designed for dough balls up to 350g (makes 12–16" pizzas).
What else can I use Babadoh containers for?
Although designed for pizza dough proofing, Babadoh containers are incredibly versatile:
- Freeze homemade or pre-made pizza dough
- Batch-cook and store soups, sauces, or stews
- Reheat food evenly in the microwave
- Transport pizza toppings for outdoor pizza parties
- Serve snacks in style
Their stackable design makes them perfect for space-saving storage in any kitchen.

How do I clean and care for Babadoh containers?
Babadoh containers are dishwasher-safe, naturally non-stick, odour-resistant, and stain-proof. With no awkward crevices for food or bacteria to hide, cleaning is effortless. They are durable, flexible, and won’t crack or degrade over time like plastic.
Can I buy fresh pizza dough online that’s ready to use?
Yes! Babadoh offers frozen artisan pizza dough delivery across the UK. The dough balls are frozen immediately after preparation to lock in freshness. Once thawed and proofed, they behave just like freshly made dough - perfect for authentic homemade pizza nights.
Is your dough really fresh if it’s delivered frozen?
Absolutely. The dough is made in small batches using traditional recipes and frozen straight away to preserve its quality. When thawed and proofed, it rises and bakes like fresh dough - without the hassle of mixing or long resting times.
How do I prepare fresh pizza dough balls once they arrive?
- Thaw the dough overnight in the fridge (inside a Babadoh Dough Proofing Container for best results).
- Proof at room temperature for 4–8 hours until light and airy.
- Stretch, top, and bake for a crisp, flavourful pizza base.
How are your fresh dough balls packaged for delivery?
We use insulated packaging and ship with DPD to ensure your dough arrives chilled and in top condition. You’ll receive a tracking link and a 1-hour delivery window on delivery day.
Are your fresh dough balls suitable for beginners?
Yes! Our dough is easy to stretch and shape, even if you’ve never made pizza before. Each order includes simple instructions so you can get great results every time.
Can I order fresh pizza dough for a specific day or event?
Yes. Just check our delivery schedule at checkout. For best results, we recommend planning to receive your dough at least one day before you plan to bake so it can thaw and proof properly.
Do I need a special oven to bake your dough?
Not at all. You’ll get fantastic results in a standard kitchen oven. For a crispier base, we recommend baking on a pizza stone or pre-heated baking tray.
