Dough-Re-Me kits started as a simple idea, to be able to make your own pizza from a kit that could come in the post, or more specifically, by delivery. A pizza in the post? We hear you ask. How does that work?

Each Dough-Re-Me pizza making kit comes with everything you need to make the freshest and tastiest margherita pizza you could imagine – all in your own home. All you need is a frying pan and a grill – both items found in almost every home – and five minutes of your time. And best of all, anyone can do it! Each of our kits comes with a full set of instructions, which gives all of the information you need. Please take a few minutes to read over before you get cooking. We have a step by step guide on our website, along with a video that shows your how to make the most out of your order.

The first step when it comes to making a pizza using our kit is to stretch out the dough. This is best achieved by emptying the flour contained in your kit onto a clean work surface. Then using the palm of your hands, press the pizza dough in the middle, using your fingertips to push out the crust to the edges. Then, pick up the dough and hold it like a steering wheel. turning the dough round and round to make a circle in the air, the weight of the dough will naturally help to stretch the dough out to create a circle. At this point, the pizza is ready to add to the frying pan (make sure the pan is very hot before placing the dough in, and do not use any oil). With the pizza in the pan, you can start to add your topping. In your kit, you’ll receive tomato sauce and two types of cheese – mozzarella and parmesan. One the pizza is in the pan, spoon on two to three dessert spoons of tomato sauce. Then, add the basil (which is fresh and organic). This allows the basil to mix flavours with the tomato sauce, giving it that beautiful fresh scent and sweet taste. Next, add the cheeses to the pizza; firstly using half of the mozzarella cheese from one tub, then sprinkling over half of the parmesan from the tub. At this stage, you can also add the salt and pepper. the total time the pizza sits on top of the hob should be no longer than 2 minutes. After this, you can move the pizza to the grill. Again being sure that the grill is hot before you start, place the frying pan under the grill. This will allow the cheese to melt on top of the pizza. Take a look at the pizza after one minute to check how it’s doing. The perfect Neapolitan pizza has what we call ‘black spots’ on the dough – this replicates the edges of the pizza dough being caught by the extreme temperatures of traditional wood fired ovens. However, if you cheese has melted and the dough has colour on it, this should indicate that the grill stage is finished. Again, the time the pizza is under the grill should be no longer than two minutes. For that final flourish and authentic Neapolitan taste, drizzle over the extra virgin olive oil, provided in the kit. Et voila. Pizza pronto! And best of all, you made it yourself!

The short amount of time required to make our pizzas is one of the main selling points of a Dough-Re-Me pizza kit. We understand that many people don’t have the time to make their own pizza ingredients at home, yet still want to enjoy the experience of not only eating the perfect pizza, but also making it for themselves. This is where the idea for our pizza kit delivery concept came from. Forget having to spend time making your own dough…our pizzas can be made in only five minutes time. In fact, with one of our pizza kits in your fridge, you can have a fresh and tasty pizza on your plate faster than you could order a pizza delivery. In fact, we challenge you to nip to out to the shop or phone up your local pizza delivery company…we bet you could make your own pizza using a Dough-Re-Me pizza kit in faster time!

We’ve spent a great deal of time and effort crafting the perfect pizza dough, which it the starting point for each pizza kit. We’ve taken our inspiration directly from the Italians; from the home of pizza, Naples. Neapolitan pizza is known to be the best in the world; with a thin base in the middle, light doughy crust and that toasted taste, originally created by wood fired pizzas ovens. Our dough has also been developed to give a fantastic flavour; made from a sourdough base, we’ve tried to make our dough so it’s the perfect balance. The texture of our dough is something we’ve worked hard to perfect. We want our dough to be light and airy, the characteristics of a classic Neapolitan base, but as our kits arrive by delivery, it’s important that the dough remains stable in the post.

Tomato is another ingredient that makes all the difference. And there is one tomato that is synonymous with Neapolitan pizzas – San Marzano. This famous tomato is an italian superstar; grown in the rich volcanic soil at the base of Mount Vesuvius, giving them a delicious, sweet flavor and low acidity. With firm pulp, a deep red colour, easy to remove skin and low seed count, San Marzano has long been established as the perfect tomato to make a pizza base. Our own secret receipe pizza base starts with San Marzano and then we add our own special bits and pieces to it. The end result is a sweet yet tangy base, the perfect consistency for spreading onto a pizza and the perfect compliment to any topping.

And please, don’t get us started with the cheese! Fior di Latte mozzarella is the original Neapolitan pizza cheese, so this forms the cheese choice for our core kits. However, we have sourced the tastiest and best versions of mozzarella for those following vegan and vegetarian diets, creating the best taste experience out there. Each of our cheeses have been specially selected to provide not only flavour, but that gorgeous stringy stretchiness; your know the type that you see on the best pizzas.

The bottom line is, we haven’t scrimped on any of the ingredients when it came to creating our kits. In our pursuit of making pizza kits available by post, we have been sure to source only the best and the tastiest items, all of which fit neatly into a box for delivery. The same goes for our packaging. We have sourced vegware pots to contain all of our ingredients (apart from the tomato base, which comes in a sealed pot to ensure it doesn’t spill in the post). This means that our packaging can be easily recycled…In fact, we would ask that you please recycle your packaging to help us achieve our sustainability goals. We’ve carefully chosen all of our packaging so it arrives in the best way for delivery. Our delivery partner will make the best efforts to ensure your order arrives safe and sound, so you can receive your delivery just as it was when it left our production unit. We like to think that our pizza kits look pretty cool when they arrive in the post too…to all intents and purposes, it looks like you’re receiving a pizza delivery… but open the box, and what do you see? A box full of ingredients! For this reason, and because they can be sent by delivery, our kits make a brilliant gift for any food lover. Many of our customers order for themselves and for friends simultaneously, holding pizza making parties online via a video call app. We can’t think of a gift that would please anyone better!

When we set out creating our pizza kit concept, we wanted to keep it as simple as possible. Rather than developing different pizza toppings for each kit, we decided to focus on making the perfect Margherita pizza. Therefore, what you decide to top your pizza with is completely up to you. Keep it simple and stick to the classic margherita or go wild with as many toppings as you like. Depending on the toppings you choose, it may be best to cook these first, before you begin. But most of the time, toppings will be just fine placed onto the pizza during the frying pan cooking process.

The beauty of a Dough-Re-Me pizza kit is that it can be sent in the post throughout the UK by next day delivery. As the pizza kit contains fresh ingredients, including fresh dough, tomato and cheese, the kit will arrive chilled. Please place the contents of the pizza kit in the fridge as soon as you receive your delivery. For best results, we advise removing the pizza dough from the fridge around 2 hours before you want to cook it, to allow the dough to proove at room temperature.

So if you like pizzas, give Dough-Re-Me a try. We offer next day delivery by PDP post throughout mainland UK, all for a small delivery charge. Instead of your usual pizza order this weekend, or before going to your favourite pizza restaurant for a delivery, give a Dough-Re-Me pizza kit a try instead. In fact, we think you’ll be so impressed, you may never order a pizza delivery again! We’d love you to share your experience of making our pizzas so please feel free to tag us on social media. We receive positive comments from happy customers every week – and one of the best compliments we receive is when customers order from us again. When this happens, we know we’re doing something right and that our customers must like what they get when they order with us.

We are a small family business, based in the UK, run by a couple with a passion for pizza. We have lovingly made our pizza kit concept so we can share the joy and fun of making pizzas at home. We found that due to the nature of Neapolitan pizzas, we could only enjoy the true taste and texture at a specialist restaurant. However, this isn’t always possible; sometimes, you just want to eat in your own environment. Delivery doesn’t cut the mustard either… by the time it’s arrived, the pizza is usually chewy and the cheese congealed and stringy. This is where we think our kits fill the gap…all the taste and flavour of the yummiest authentic Neapolitan pizza, with all of the convenience of a delivery. Place an order and see for yourself…it may just be the yummiest decision you make all day!
