- Description
Ideal for 180g - 250g dough balls used for 10–12 inch pizzas
Designed for home pizza makers who want a compact, more space-saving way to proof and store dough.
Unlike large restaurant-style proofing trays, these individual 500ml containers keep dough balls separate, help prevent sticking, and fit more naturally in a home refrigerator. Each dough ball gets its own space to rise, making cold fermentation easier to manage while helping the dough maintain a better shape.
Why you’ll love them:
• Keeps dough balls separate so they don’t stick together
• Easier to stack and organize in a home fridge than a large commercial plastic proofing container
• Mixed colors make it easier to organize different dough recipes, fermentation stages, or family portions
• Great for cold fermentation, dough storage, refrigeration, and freezing
How to use:
Lightly flour the container if needed, place one dough ball inside, cover, and refrigerate. When ready to use, invert the container and gently press the bottom to release the dough onto a floured surface.

Common Questions
500ml Classic Dough Proofing Container FAQ
What dough ball size works best in the 500ml container?
The 500ml container is designed for individual 180–250g dough balls, typically used for 10–12 inch pizzas. Dough expansion may vary depending on hydration, yeast level, fermentation time, and temperature.
What is the difference between the 500ml and 1000ml containers?
The 500ml container is the more compact option for 180–250g dough balls and 10–12 inch pizzas. Choose 1000ml for 250–350g dough balls, 12–16 inch pizzas, or recipes that need additional expansion room.
Can I use the 500ml containers for cold fermentation?
Yes. Each dough ball gets its own covered space, making overnight and multi-day cold fermentation easier to organize in a home refrigerator. Follow the fermentation time and temperature recommended by your recipe.
How do I release the dough without deflating it?
Lightly flour or oil the container if needed before adding the dough. When ready to bake, invert the container over a floured surface and gently press the flexible bottom. Avoid pulling the dough out by hand.
Do the lids help prevent the dough from drying out?
Yes. The fitted lids keep each dough ball covered and help reduce moisture loss and refrigerator odors. The containers are intended for dough proofing and food storage, but should not be treated as leakproof containers for transporting liquids.
Can the 500ml Classic containers be stacked?
Yes. Their compact, fixed-shape design and reinforced structure make them easy to stack and arrange in a home refrigerator. Leave enough shelf height for the containers and check that each lid remains securely fitted.
Are the containers freezer- and dishwasher-safe?
Yes. The containers can be used for refrigeration and freezing, and they are dishwasher-safe for easier cleanup. Allow frozen dough to thaw and temper according to your recipe before stretching.
