Step 1 - Divide & Weigh

Use your Gozney Dough Cutter to divide your pizza dough into 240-250g 8.5/8.8oz portions.

Ensure these portions are the correct size by weighing them on scales.

Step 2 - Ball

Form a nice and tight dough ball by pinching the bottom of the dough using your thumb and index finger and rolling the dough into a ball shape.

step 4 - Ball (simpler way)

You can also ball your dough by using a flat surface and roll the dough over on itself a few times, rotating each time to keep it round. Finish it by shaping your dough carefully into a ball and sealing the bottom tightly.

Step 5 - Proof

Now that your dough is balled, it is time to proof them. Want to learn more about pizza dough proofing? Visit our How To Proof Pizza Dough blog.
