DOUGH BALLS
Baker’s Quality Pizza Crusts® Dough Balls
are the perfect application for those who want to form their crust but
don’t want to mix their own dough. Once proofed, this product is
very similar in taste to our Fresh Crust but offers versatility for those
who want to form their own raised edge, make a deep dish crust or prepare
calzones or stromboli. Dough balls require more handling but they are
a less expensive alternative to a sheeted crust.
HANDLING/BAKING INSTRUCTIONS
Keep frozen until one day prior to use. Place desired number of dough
balls on a lightly oiled sheet pan, spray or brush lightly with oil and
cover with plastic film to prevent drying. Place in cooler for up to 2
days. Upon thawing and at least 1 hour prior to use (2 hours for larger
dough balls), remove dough balls from cooler, keep covered and allow to
come to room temperature before forming. They should be soft and pillowy.
Shape dough with sheeter, press, rolling pin or by hand and place on a
peel dusted with cornmeal, a screen or an oiled pan. In addition, a rolled
edge can be formed if desired. To reduce bubbling in the oven, dock the
crust with a hand docker before topping it.
Dough will perform best in a deck oven or a conveyor oven, both set at
a temperature between 450° and 500°. Temperatures are guidelines
and will vary depending on the performance of each oven and the product
being made.
