Made with wild yeast, high protein wheat flour, water, and salt. These are the only ingredients that go into a Great Balls of Flour sourdough pizza dough ball.

Not all sourdough pizza dough balls are created equally. Some pizzas and pizza dough balls that claim to be Sourdough are able to promote themselves as sourdough because they use more sourdough starter than yeast. It’s a technicality. When you purchase a sourdough pizza dough ball from Great Balls of Flour you are guaranteed to only be biting into a dough ball that is made from natural yeast, with nothing else added. Our sourdough starter is carefully maintained to ensure it is strong and healthy ensuring it delivers as good a rise as those with added yeasts. It will also add a deep, rich, nutty flavour to the dough that, once tasted, means you’ll find it hard to revert to any other dough ball. That’s why our sourdough dough balls are coveted by our restaurant customers.

In fact, without even knowing it, you may well have eaten our dough balls in a restaurant!

Our sourdough “mother” (which we call Bubbles!) has been fed and nurtured for over 4 years. This ensures it has a rich highly developed taste that will deliver you a delicious tasting pizza.

Each sourdough mix enjoys a long, slow, fermentation over 2 days allowing the flavours to fully develop, the proteins are eaten by the yeast which breaks down the gluten resulting in a pizza base that is rich in flavour, stretchy with a bit of chew and easier to digest.

A 250 gram ball will make a pizza of at least 30cm/12″ diameter, larger if you’re good at pressing and stretching and sliding off your pizza peel.

Great Balls of Flours sourdough balls will bake amazing tasting pizza whether you’re cooking it in a home oven or pizza ovens like Ooni, Roccbox or a wood-fired stone oven.

Our dough balls are preservative free, lactose free, sugar free and are Suitable for vegans. 

Dough balls are sent out frozen in individual bags and can be frozen upon receipt, or defrosted and kept chilled at <5ªc for up to 3 days They are packed in insulated bags with ice gel packs. However, depending upon the weather and outside temperature, they may arrive frozen, partially frozen, or defrosted. Whichever condition they’d drive they are good to be frozen again and to use

The dough balls can be kept chilled in a fridge for up to 3 days. We recommend keeping an eye on them and knocking them back if they are expanding too much.
