Hi all,
My name is Michael Madan and I am a certified "Pizza Geek"....
I have been involved in the pizza industry for over 22 years suppling DoughMate dough trays to large and small companies.
Like many of you I love to make pizza at home with our Forno Bravo wood fired oven that we have on our patio. We make really great pizza!!
I use our DoughMate dough trays just like my customers do.....they are fantastic!
This summer we are introducing our Artisan Dough Tray and lid...perfect for 6 to 8 7.5oz dough balls, which is about one batch of dough in a home mixer!! They will fit in the fridge perfectly as well.....
I can't wait myself to get this new product for my home use.
Please visit our website doughmate.com for more info on our dough trays.

i would be interested also.

i almost bought some full sized trays a few times, but thought better of it!!!!!

something that'd fit in a home sink and home fridge would be great.

Mike those pies look great! You guys are ALL killing me with your "ovens".

The new Artisan Dough Tray and lid will be exactly half the size of the normal dough tray in lenght and width and the same depth.
I will be posting a rendering in the next few weeks.....

Silly question time:
Can anyone clue me in on what properties make a dough tray diff from say a tupperware type container?
Thanks!

Dough Trays are designed to be air tight when nesting on each other...only the top tray needs a lid. Each Tupperware tub needs it's own lid. This is important as you do not want your dough to dry out in storage.Dough Trays are very durable and will perform as designed for years of use. In addition, the height of the dough tray is perfect for storing and proofing the dough.
The new Artisan Dough Tray will hold one batch of dough produced from a normal home mixer as well.

for home use (most of the people here) i would only want maybe 2 of these.
seems a little pricey for home use, i dont know how much commerical guys are paying for dough ball storage containers.

once my new fridge gets here ill be looking for some

The price of the Artisan Dough Tray and lid will most likely be $22.95 for two trays and one lid. UPS will be extra....First parts off will be twords the end of July......

this is cool Mike, I look forward to it. It will be great not only for home bakers but those who will work in very confined spots where large dough trays will not fit in smaller 3 bin sinks.

patrick, are you actually going to wash those things, I dont think anyone does that. wish they would though. -marc

SmokinGuitarPlayer · « **Reply #15 on:** May 24, 2010, 10:57:00 PM »

do these trays fit in a "regular" refrigerator?

BrickStoneOven · « **Reply #16 on:** May 25, 2010, 07:40:12 AM »

Mike said they were going to be half the size, so the tray would be 12"x8"x3" deep.

pcampbell · « **Reply #17 on:** May 25, 2010, 08:45:39 AM »

yeah I went and looked that up, then was trying to figure out how many 12" doughballs (say 270-300g) that would fit...

I would think only 2 ?

widespreadpizza · « **Reply #18 on:** May 25, 2010, 09:23:07 AM »

Standard doughmate dimensions: 24"x16"x3" I wish they were going to be just half of the length so that you would end up with 12x16x3. I have a side by side fridge and this would fit easily. Would anyone not be able to fit this in thier fridge? I think with this size you could get at least 4-6 300g balls in there. Two per tray would seem to defeat the purpose and take up way too much fridge space. Did you make that mold yet Mike?
