What Is the Empty Krapfen?
The Empty Krapfen is a soft, leavened frozen pastry weighing 55 g, supplied unfilled so the kitchen can fill it to its own recipe. It is made without palm oil and comes in a professional pack of 48 pieces, about 2.64 kg. Ready to thaw and fill, it gives a bakery-quality breakfast pastry without an in-house proofing and frying line.
San Giorgio Frozen Bakery
The krapfen is made by San Giorgio in Castel San Giorgio, in the province of Salerno, a producer specialised in frozen bakery and pastry for foodservice. The empty format is designed for professionals who want to control the filling, from classic custard to chocolate and seasonal creams.
How to Prepare
Thaw the krapfen at room temperature for about 1.30 to 2 hours, then fill with custard, chocolate or jam using a piping bag and finish with icing sugar. Do not refreeze once thawed, and serve within 24 hours of preparation for the best texture.
Professional Uses
- Filled breakfast pastry for bars and cafes.
- Brunch and hotel breakfast buffets.
