Why Testing is Important with Par Baked Frozen Pizza Dough
Ordering par baked frozen pizza dough can have a number of benefits for your restaurant. Because these frozen dough products are partially cooked (which is where the term “par baked” comes from,) they cook faster than other frozen pizza shells; and they are also flatter, making storage sometimes easier. But because par baked shells have already been cooked to a degree, you must test them in your own ovens once they have been delivered.
All restaurant owners know that all ovens may have slight differences from one to another; and that slight difference between your own and where the dough was first cooked could mean tough dough if you don’t test it first. This is because when dough is partially cooked, it becomes much easier to overcook it; and this can result in tough dough – something that will definitely hurt your pizza, and your profits.
Another way you must test your par baked shells is by checking the cooler life of them. These types of shells typically have a cooler life of 3 to 4 days and again, every cooler is different and you will need to test it to see how long it will last under your cooler’s own conditions.
Ordering par baked shells is a great way to make pizza faster and fresher in your restaurant. But beware that this type of frozen pizza is not like others; and that you’ll need to test it with your own equipment to make sure that you still get that perfect crust every time.
