Ready-Made Sourdough Pizza Dough, Made the Traditional Way

Take your homemade pizza to the next level with our 48-Hour Double Fermented Sourdough Pizza Dough Balls — sometimes called sourdough pizza balls by our regulars.

Handcrafted in Poole, Dorset, every dough ball is made using premium Italian Tipo 00 flour, filtered water, sea salt and our carefully maintained sourdough culture before being slowly fermented for 48 hours.

This traditional process develops the distinctive flavour that makes sourdough pizza so popular—creating a beautifully balanced dough with subtle tangy notes, exceptional texture and a light, airy crust.

Every dough ball is individually proofed before being instantly frozen, making it easy to defrost, stretch and bake whenever pizza night calls.

Whether you're cooking in an Ooni, Gozney, Ninja Woodfire, Witt, Cozze, Roccbox, a traditional wood-fired oven or your home oven, you'll enjoy authentic sourdough pizza with beautifully risen crusts and classic leopard spotting.


Why Choose Ready-Made Sourdough Pizza Dough?

Sourdough fermentation creates a pizza that's full of natural character.

Unlike fast-produced dough, our slow fermentation allows flavour to develop gradually while creating a dough that's soft, extensible and easy to stretch.

The result is:

  • Rich, complex flavour

  • Gentle natural sourdough tang

  • Light, airy crust

  • Excellent oven spring

  • Beautiful leopard spotting

  • Easy handling

  • Authentic artisan texture

It's everything pizza lovers expect from premium sourdough pizza.

First time making pizza & using Dough Dorks. The whole process was nice & easy & a lot of fun, the flavour of the dough was incredible. Restaurant quality but with homemade convenience. Will definitely be buying from Dough Dorks again.

Sam K.

We had been using dough from Great Balls but rthe century had been disappointed.
Was thrilled when found there was a local family company in Dorset.
From the first use we were blown away with the quality and usability of the dough! The pizzas themselves taste amazing and the crusts are insane!

Lorraine V.

Wow what can I say !! We’ve finally found the PERFECT dough balls after trying so many and let down by so many. These dough balls had everything we need and more. They even come with the proofing containers. The dough itself is the best, and easiest we’ve had that stretches to make a proper round pizzas. No fighting with it. We had family over for a pizza party and everyone stretched their own pizza with no issues at all. The flavour of the sourdough was delicious too, and had a lovely light and airy crust when cooked in our Ooni. I wasn’t sure of how long to get the frozen dough balls out of the freezer so they had time to defrost and then get to room temperature so I put a message on the company’s chat and within 30 minutes I was called back by the owner I believe with all the information I needed for our party preparation. Mike was super helpful and knowledgeable, clearly passionate about his dough. Thoroughly recommend!! Will certainly be using this company going forward.

Best dough I’ve tried, easy to get into a pizza shape and doesn’t shrink the minute you put it down to put toppings on. I threw a pizza party for 4 mums and 7 kids and they all commented on how incredible the pizza dough was. Will be purchasing more!

I cannot recommend this company and their products highly enough. The dough balls come out perfect every time rising nicely with bubbles for that wonderful crust. The proving pots make life so simple and it is the work of 5 seconds to remove from the pot and add to a surface for shaping.
Genio puro!

Hi Alistair, we're thrilled to hear you love the dough balls and the proving pots! Thanks so much for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience. Happy baking!
