Blind-Bake stainless steel plate – the clever helper for perfect pizza
The edge of your pizza rises nicely, but the centre domes up while baking or forms large air bubbles?
With the aPizz Blind-Bake stainless steel plate the central area of the pizza base remains evenly flat during par-baking. At the same time, the outer edge can develop freely and rise into a high, airy cornicione.
The result is a stable and evenly baked pizza base with a pronounced rim – the ideal foundation for pizzas that are topped or refined only after baking.
The blind-bake plate is available in three sizes:
- Ø 24 cm
- Ø 26 cm
- Ø 28 cm
This allows you to choose the right version for your desired pizza size and your pizza oven.
What does blind baking mean for pizza?
With blind baking, the prepared pizza dough is first par-baked without the classic toppings.
The stainless steel plate is placed in the center of the shaped dough. Its weight prevents the middle of the pizza from puffing up uncontrollably or forming large air bubbles.
The rim remains free and can develop optimally through the heat.
After pre-baking, the plate is removed. The pizza can then be topped, filled or finished directly as desired.
This technique is particularly suitable for creative pizza recipes where fresh or delicate toppings are added only after baking.
Your benefits
✓ Flat and even pizza center
The stainless steel plate keeps the central area of the dough flat during pre-baking and prevents large, uncontrolled air bubbles.
✓ High and airy cornicione
Since the rim is not covered by the plate, it can rise freely and develop its typical airy structure.
✓ Stable base for toppings added after baking
The pre-baked pizza base remains dimensionally stable and can then be topped easily and cleanly.
✓ Three different sizes
With Ø 24, 26 and 28 cm, the right version is available for different pizza sizes and oven types.
✓ Robust stainless steel
The plate is made of durable, heat-resistant and easy-care stainless steel.
✓ Versatile in use
Suitable for electric pizza ovens, household ovens and many other suitable baking appliances, provided the dimensions and temperature ranges of the respective appliance are observed.
Ideal for creative pizza recipes
With the aPizz Blind-Bake stainless steel plate you can prepare far more than classic pizza.
It is ideal for:
- Dessert pizza with chocolate, cream or fresh fruit
- Pizza with pistachio cream
- Bruschetta pizza with fresh tomatoes
- Mortadella pizza with toppings added after baking
- Pizza with burrata or fresh mozzarella
- Pizza with rocket, ham or carpaccio
- Pizza bases that are topped only after baking
- creative sweet and savoury pizza variations
Fresh, chilled or heat-sensitive ingredients retain their flavour, texture and appetising appearance.
Easy to use
- Shape the pizza dough as usual.
- Place the appropriate blind-bake plate in the center of the dough.
- Leave enough dough around the plate for the desired cornicione.
- Place the pizza and plate together in the preheated oven.
- Pre-bake the dough until it reaches the desired level of doneness.
- Carefully remove the hot stainless steel plate using appropriate heat protection.
- Top the pre-baked pizza base as desired and serve, or briefly finish baking.
The exact baking time depends on the type of dough, dough thickness, oven temperature and the pizza oven used.
Which size is right?
Ø 24 cm
Ideal for smaller pizzas, compact pizza ovens and an especially pronounced, wide rim.
Ø 26 cm
The versatile medium size for classic pizzas and different oven types.
Ø 28 cm
Suitable for larger pizzas and a wider, uniformly flat interior area.
When choosing, the plate should be smaller than the shaped pizza dough so that there is enough space all around for the cornicione to develop.
Cleaning and care
Allow the stainless steel plate to cool down completely after use.
Afterwards it can be cleaned with warm water, a soft sponge and a suitable dishwashing detergent. After cleaning, the plate should be dried thoroughly.
Do not use aggressive or highly abrasive cleaning agents in order not to damage the surface unnecessarily.
Safety instructions

FAQs
Product & Usage
1. Which accessories are truly essential for perfect pizza in a gas or wood-fired oven?
Essential accessories include a high-quality pizza peel, a thermometer for precise temperature control, a pizza stone or rotating plate for even baking, and a brush for cleaning the baking surface. These tools make handling the oven easier and ensure optimal baking results.
2. Are the accessories compatible with my pizza oven (Ooni, Gozney, etc.)?
Most professional pizza oven accessories are compatible with different models, including both gas and wood-fired ovens. It’s important to check the dimensions of the oven and the baking surface to choose the right accessories.
3. Why should I choose professional accessories instead of cheaper alternatives?
Professional accessories are made from heat-resistant and durable materials, offer better performance and a longer service life. They improve baking quality, reduce errors, and ensure consistently perfect pizza results—both at home and in professional use.
Maintenance & Accessories
1. What maintenance do the tools require?
To keep your pizza oven tools in perfect condition, they should be cleaned after every use. Residual flour, dough, and ash can easily be removed with a brush or a slightly damp cloth once everything has cooled down. Metal tools such as peels, turners, or brushes should occasionally be treated with food-safe oil to prevent rust. Wooden handles must not be soaked or cleaned in the dishwasher. Regularly checking for wear ensures safety and a long service life.
2. Can spare parts or accessories be purchased separately?
Yes, many spare parts and accessories for pizza ovens can be purchased separately. These include, for example, replacement handles, brush heads, thermometers, or pizza stones. When buying, make sure the parts are compatible with your oven model and have the correct dimensions. This way, you can individually expand your setup or replace worn components.
3. Do you provide operating or user manuals?
Yes, for most accessories we provide user manuals or usage instructions. These are available digitally (PDF) or directly on the product page. The manuals help you use the tools correctly, handle them safely, and extend their service life.

2. How long is the warranty period for the products?
