What is a pizza dough proofing container?

Do these pizza dough fermentation containers stack easily in the fridge?
Yes! These proofing containers are fully stackable, saving valuable space in your fridge. They’re perfect for prepping multiple dough balls ahead of time without any mess.
Are the containers non-stick and easy to clean?
Absolutely. Made of flexible silicone, they prevent sticking and are dishwasher-safe—so cleanup takes seconds and there’s no scrubbing involved.
Can I use these pizza dough proofing containers for other types of dough?
Yes, they’re also great for proofing sourdough, bread rolls, and focaccia. Any recipe that needs fermentation will benefit from the structure and space these containers provide.
