Pizza Dough for Ninja Pizza Ovens
Share
Dough Dorks pizza dough can be used in Ninja outdoor pizza ovens once the dough is fully defrosted and relaxed. Stretch one 260–270g dough ball to approximately 12 inches, keep toppings controlled and preheat the oven according to the programme and model you are using.
How to use ready made pizza dough in a Ninja pizza oven
Ninja pizza ovens make high-temperature pizza accessible without managing a live flame, but the dough still needs the same fundamentals: proper defrosting, gentle stretching and a hot cooking surface.
- Defrost the dough fully. Leave it covered until soft and relaxed.
- Preheat the Ninja according to your model. Use the pizza setting or programme recommended for the style you want to cook.
- Stretch by hand. Keep the centre thinner and protect the outer rim.
- Use restrained toppings. Excess moisture can make the centre slower to cook.
- Check the base and crust as it bakes. Different pizza programmes and ambient conditions can change timing, so use colour and texture as your guide.
What size pizza does a Dough Dorks ball make?
Our standard 260–270g dough balls are designed for approximately one generous 12-inch pizza. You can make the base slightly smaller and thicker if that better suits your Ninja model or preferred style.
Why does my dough shrink back?
If the dough keeps pulling itself smaller, it is normally still too cold or the gluten has not relaxed enough. Cover it, give it more time and try again rather than forcing the stretch.
