Wooden Pizza Dough Proofing Box w/Lid – 16” x 12” – Made From Natural Acacia Wood – Proofing Container Tray for Home Kitchen with Dough Spatula and Pizza Dough Recipe Book

The craftsmanship was amazing and i’m very happy with this purchase. Just buy it and you will not regret it. In my opinion it’s the best i’ve came across.

This box is a beautiful part of making a fine Neapolitan pizza. After the dough rises in a bowl, the individual dough balls for the pizzas go into this box. After the dough "proofs" in the wooden Proofing Box it's easy to form the dough into a perfect crust for our Gozney oven.

This thing smells like an old barn and it makes the pizza dough stink like a petting zoo. It gives the crust an off taste like a goat's rear end. I've tried airing it out and just using it, hoping maybe the smell will go away but it's only gotten stronger somehow. It's also very shoddy craftsmanship. The corners of the lid and box were coming apart right away. I've had to slap them into place everytime I move the thing. Wish I could get my money back.

This is nothing fancy, it's a basic wooden box in which to proof pizza and other types of dough. Although it's not exactly special, it is well made, the wood is pretty good quality, and it does exactly what it says it'll do and works great. The included wooden spatula is a nice touch, so 5 stars from me.

It's nice looking but mine came with a sickening odor in the box. I tried baking soda, letting it air out but the sour smell persisted. Thought maybe it was just a part of using a natural wood product but after proofing dough in the box the odor persisted into the pizza. Ultimately had to return. Update: After my return I was contacted by support. They told me that a food safe oil is applied to the boxes that can develop an odor after extended storage. They offered me a replacement. The new box did not contain the odor and is much better. The box is very nice looking and seems well constructed.

This proofing box is absolutely beautiful! I had purchased it about 1 yr. ago and use it every week! I make pizza dough every Wednesday for our family Friday pizza nights. I have many different types of proofing containers, stainless steel, plastic and even glass, which all do a nice job proofing,but this wooden box is my absolute favorite! It keeps an even temperature and proofs the dough perfectly. My only complaint with it is the lid, it’s very tight and I have had a hard time getting it on & off since I received it. I thought it was because of it being new, but after using it for a yr. there’s still no change. So, I reached out to the company The Old Pizzaiolo Wooden Proofing Box via email and explained my experience with the lid and was pleasantly surprised and impressed with how fast I received a response back from Sam! He emailed me back in less than 24 hrs. explaining its normally tight with first uses and should loosen over time, but this was clearly a manufacturer’s defect and he would replace it free of charge with a new one! Even after 1 year! I asked if they wanted me to return the original one but he told me no, keep it. I can’t say enough how much I love the beauty and functionality of this proofing box and how much I appreciate the honesty and understanding of Sam and replacing my box as soon as they’re back in stock! Do yourself a favor and get one!

This box is great. excellent construction. I used one of the pizza dough recipes listed in the book that came with it. Refrigerated the dough for 2 days, then proofed it for 2 hrs before making the pizzas. This was the best crust I've ever eaten and as good as any I ever ate during a 2 yr tour of duty in Sicily, and that's saying a lot. The only thing missing was the fire brick oven flavor.

I bought this product for proofing dough as intended. It arrived with one lip of the lid broken off, but since it's wood a little Elmers fixed that. It was only in a cardboard box with scant bubble wrap. I assume that it was dropped during shipping. While flying the lid I noticed that the monogram on the lid is actually on the inside of the box instead of outside where it would be readable. With the lid handle glued on and the lid only fitting in a particular way the monogram remains inside.
