Our Story
We’re two brothers, obsessed with the art of making perfect Neapolitan pizza. It’s a simple dish - flour, water, yeast, salt - but the details make all the difference.
At first, we were just home cooks, baking pizzas on a stone in the oven, clueless about hydration levels or the right flour. Then the pizza bug hit hard. We got the gear - Ooni, Gozney - and joined a thriving community of pizza fanatics. Mastering dough became an obsession.
But there was one problem: proofing trays.
Every time, our perfectly round dough balls would proof into one sticky, tangled mess. Separating them ruined their shape. We tried every container imaginable - none worked. They broke, they weren’t eco-friendly, and they were just... wrong.
After countless failed solutions (and Google searches for "dough proofing container", "dough ball tray", "dough ball solutions), we decided to fix it ourselves.
And that’s how Babadoh was born. A simple, smart, game-changing way to proof dough - so your pizza turns out as perfect as it should be.
So, How Does Babadoh Help You Create the Perfect Pizza Dough?

Your kitchen hero
Babadohs are not just great for proofing dough balls. They also double as handy food storage containers.
Pop any leftover dough balls in the freezer and let them snuggle in their Babadoh bed while freezing and defrosting, holding their plump round shape.
Organise your toppings when cooking up a pizza storm, then stack them up in the fridge for another day.
Plus you can chill and freeze batch cooked meals, soups and stocks, scramble eggs in the microwave and bake perfect bread loaves, mini sponges and saucy puddings in the oven.
The possibilities are endless.

Give all your single use plastic containers the boot
We chose silicone as a better option for both you and our planet.
Babadohs are built to last, outlasting plastic alternatives. They won't break, crack or become brittle over time so they'll be your perfect kitchen companion for years and years.
Silicone is non-stick and flexible, which is especially important to gently release those delicate dough balls.
Heat and cold are no match for silicone, so Babadohs won't twist, melt or warp like plastic. Use them safely in the fridge, freezer, microwave and oven (up to 200°C).
And there's more. Silicone is odourless, stain-resistant and a breeze to clean. Babadohs are formed from a single mould of silicone, with no nooks and crannies to hide nasty bacteria, plus they are dishwasher safe.
Food Grade Silicone
We put our safety hats on to make sure Babadohs are safe for use by performing food contact material tests that make sure no nasties slip into your food under different testing conditions.
There are two main standards for silicone food contact material testing: FDA (US Food & Drug Administration) and LFGB (Lebensmittel, Bedarfsgegenstande und Futtermittelgesetzbuch or for the non German speakers, Foods, Consumer Goods and Feedstuffs Code). Europe also has more regulations (1935/2004/EC) keeping a watchful eye on food contact materials in Europe.
If you're wondering which standard is the toughest nut to crack, it's the LFGB testing. We went the extra mile and chose LFGB certified silicone for Babadoh. So, whether you're proofing dough balls or doing something else with Babadoh, you can rest assured they are safe.
