Remove from the freezer and place in the fridge overnight. The next day remove from the fridge 3 hours before cooking. Once out of the fridge, remove packaging and place in an airtight container with lid or cake carrier, lightly dusted with semolina.

How to use your

Authentic Italian Dough Balls
There are two methods of defrosting dough balls – you can either defrost them overnight, or on the same day as you cook them.
Begin by removing the dough balls from the freezer and cutting the required number from the vacuum pack. Remove them from their packaging and place them onto a baking tray. Return any remaining dough balls back into the freezer, still in their vacuum packaging.
Prepare overnight by placing the tray in the fridge and leaving overnight. Once defrosted, take out of the fridge, dip them into a bowl of semolina (or plain flour, if you do not have semolina) and place them back onto the tray, spaced out a minimum of 3cm apart. Cover the dough with a clean damp tea towel to prevent it from drying out. Leave the dough balls to prove at room temperature for 2 hours before cooking.
Pre-heat your oven to its maximum temperature – recommended between 270°C and 300°C. The hotter, the better!
Take the dough balls and stretch the dough by pressing with your fingers and pushing the dough out to the edges. If you find this authentic Italian method difficult, do feel free to use a rolling pin.
Transfer to a baking tray and cook for 6 to 7 minutes. Please be aware, cooking time will vary depending on oven temperature, so check the dough balls frequently to avoid burning. If you are using an Ooni or equivalent oven, cook for approx 60 seconds.
Your perfectly prepared dough balls are ready to enjoy!
