A bench-top lever press that turns a ball of dough into a flat, even base up to 240 mm across in one pull. The press plate is rust-resistant stainless steel, the frame is steel and iron, and a spring lifts the top plate back up on its own so the next ball goes in straight away. Made for pizza bases, tortillas, roti, pita and pie lids at cafe and takeaway pace. Ready to use out of the carton, no assembly.

Setting up

Lift it out, set it on a bench near the dough station and wipe the plates with warm soapy water before the first press. Nothing to bolt together. Put a sheet of the parchment supplied above and below the dough ball, pull the lever, let it spring back.

One pull, one base.

Rolling bases by hand is the slowest job in a pizza kitchen. This takes it down to a second per base.

Drop a dough ball on the bottom plate, pull the lever, and the top plate comes down flat and square. It presses to 5 mm, so every base comes out the same whether it is the first of the night or the two hundredth. The spring returns the lever on its own, which is what lets one person keep a steady rhythm without a second hand on the machine.

It is a cold press, not a heated one, so it does not cook or dry the dough. That suits pizza bases, tortillas, roti, pita and pie lids, and anything else that starts as a ball and needs to be a disc. At 11.2 kg it stays put on the bench when you lean on the lever.

Goes with.

What this usually leaves the warehouse with.

Close view of the polished platens with a pressed dough disc between them

Flat, every time.

The top plate travels straight down rather than swinging on a hinge, so the pressure lands evenly across the whole disc. A hinged press leaves one side thicker than the other; this one does not. The stainless press plate releases cleanly with a sheet of parchment on each side, and a wipe with a damp cloth is all the cleaning it needs between batches.

  • Vertical press, even thickness edge to edge
  • Stainless press plate, up to 240 mm
  • Presses to 5 mm
The press mid-pull with a stack of finished bases beside it

A lever you can work all night.

The lever is built to save effort, so a dough ball flattens with one hand and no real strain. The high-strength spring brings the top plate back up as soon as you let go, so the machine is ready for the next ball while you are still reaching for it. Over a service that adds up to a lot of bases without a sore shoulder.

  • Effort-saving lever
  • Spring return on the top plate
  • Widened base, does not walk on the bench
The press on a home kitchen bench with a stack of tortillas

Not only pizza.

Anything that goes from ball to disc goes through it. Tortillas and roti at 5 mm, pita ready for the oven, pie lids, dumpling wrappers pressed from smaller balls, flatbread for a wrap bar. Cafes use it for the lunch rush, takeaways use it for consistency, and home cooks who make bread every week use it because rolling twenty bases is no fun.

  • Pizza, tortilla, roti, pita and pie lids
  • Small balls for dumpling and taco wrappers
  • Cold press, dough stays soft and unproofed

What it presses.

Figures are for a soft, rested dough. A stiff, cold dough presses thicker on the first pull; give it two.

Questions we get asked

Does it heat the dough?

No. It is a cold press. The platens flatten the dough and nothing else, so the base stays soft and you cook it however you normally would. If you want a tortilla cooked in the press, you need a heated tortilla press, which is a different tool.

Can I change the thickness?

It presses to 5 mm. For a thinner base, press once, turn the dough a quarter turn and press again; for thicker, use a larger ball and stop the lever short of the end of its travel.

How big a dough ball does it take?

Anything that makes a disc up to 240 mm across at 5 mm. Smaller balls make smaller discs, which is how people use it for dumpling wrappers and taco-sized tortillas.

Do I need the papers?

A sheet above and below the dough stops it sticking to the platens and lets you lift the base off in one piece. A hundred come in the box. Without paper, a light dusting of flour or semolina on both platens works for most doughs.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the plates with a damp cloth and a little detergent, then dry. Do not put the press under a tap; the frame is steel and iron and should stay dry.
