Realizing the importance of proofing and dough fermentation, Sam drew back to his Italian heritage, leading him to rediscover the lost art of the wooden proofing box.

The secret behind wood
Natural Insulation
Wood naturally insulates the dough, maintaining an ideal temperature for fermentation. This gentle warmth encourages a slow and even rise, enhancing the flavor and texture of your pizza dough.
Moisture Retention
The porous nature of wood helps retain moisture, preventing the dough from drying out during the proofing process. This ensures a beautifully moist and supple dough, a crucial factor in crafting a delectable pizza.
Breathability
Wood allows the dough to breathe, creating the perfect conditions for yeast fermentation. This breathability results in a light and airy texture, characteristic of authentic, traditional pizza.

Our proofing boxes are meticulously handcrafted using responsibly sourced acacia wood, ensuring each piece embodies premium quality and responsible sourcing practices.
