FAQs for Pre-Made Pizza Dough
General Questions
How do I store the pre-made pizza dough?
What's the shelf life of the dough balls?
Our pre-made dough balls can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. When frozen, they maintain their quality for up to 6 months.
How do I thaw frozen dough balls?
For optimal results, transfer the frozen dough ball to your refrigerator and allow it to thaw overnight. Before you plan to use it, leave it at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours until it becomes soft and pliable.
Are the dough balls ready to use straight from the fridge?
We recommend allowing the chilled dough balls to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour. This helps the gluten relax, making the dough easier to stretch.
Can I refreeze the dough balls if I change my mind?
For the best taste and texture, we do not recommend refreezing the dough balls once they have been thawed.
How do I stretch the dough balls?
Our dough balls are crafted for easy stretching. For guidance, you can access our video tutorial by pizza master Ricardo. Use your hands or a rolling pin to gently shape the dough into your desired size.
What oven temperature is best for baking the pizzas?
Preheat your oven to its highest temperature, usually between 475°F to 500°F (245°C to 260°C), for a crisp crust and evenly cooked toppings. Each oven is different, so adjust the time and temperature as needed.
Can these dough balls be used with a pizza stone or steel?
Absolutely! For an even more authentic pizza experience, we recommend using a preheated pizza stone or steel to achieve a perfectly crispy crust.
Do the Gluten-Free dough balls taste different from the regular ones?
Our Gluten-Free dough is designed to be as delicious as our regular dough, with a slightly different texture that still offers a superb pizza base for all to enjoy.
Are the dough balls suitable for vegan diets?
Our Neapolitan and Sourdough dough balls are vegan-friendly. Please check the individual product details for confirmation, as ingredients may vary.
