PAR-BAKED PIZZA CRUSTS
Baker’s Quality Pizza Crusts® Par-Baked Crusts are
docked and ready to sauce and top. Like the fresh sheeted crusts, they
are yeast leavened and just as flavorful. We offer both a thin, crispy
style crust and a thicker, more chewy crust. The benefits of this crust
are that it is fully proofed and allows for easy handling and immediate
service.
HANDLING/BAKING INSTRUCTIONS
Keep frozen, but thaw at least one hour prior to use. Thaw the crusts
in a plastic bag so they don’t dry out. In a case of crusts, there
is wax paper between every 10 crusts so that a portion of a case can easily
be removed for thawing. Once thawed, store the crusts at 34° - 40°
and use from the refrigerator. There is no need for proofing and par-bakes
can be held under refrigeration for 4-5 days. To prevent breakage, avoid
dropping the case of crusts on the floor or shelf.
When ready to prepare a pizza, remove one crust from the pack, place it
on a screen or pizza peel and make the pizza. To avoid excessive bubbling
while baking, dock the crust with a dough docking roller prior to preparing
the pizza. The crust will bake best in either a slate deck oven or a conveyor
oven, both set at a temperature between 450° and 550°. Temperatures
are guidelines and will vary depending on the performance of each oven.
Your pizza is fully cooked when the toppings are done and the crust is
a golden brown on the bottom.
