Parbaked Pizza Crusts

Crusts may be stored frozen up to 1 year from date of manufacture and refrigerated up to 21 days from date of thawing. It is important to ensure that crusts remain stored in plastic bags and kept closed. Pizza crusts are a relatively thin bread product and are very susceptible to drying if left uncovered for extended periods of time. In applications where crusts are to be stored frozen, product should be thawed prior to topping and baking. Pizza crusts shrink in size when frozen and will regain their specified size when fully thawed. Our Standard Thin, Special Thin, Extra Thick, Garlic & Butter and Whole Grain varieties can be baked on either side. Traditionally the side with open celled texture and pan rings is considered the bottom. We suggest testing each side to find your preference. Surprisingly, there is a significant difference in "bite". Flavor and visual appeal can be enhanced by brushing the crust with olive oil prior to baking and again on the edges after baking.
