What is the Round Pizza and Focaccia Base
The round white pizza and focaccia base is a professional bakery product, pre-baked and frozen, designed specifically for the needs of the HoReCa sector. Weighing 250 grams and with a diameter of about 28 centimeters, it is the perfect portion for a classic plated pizza. The dough stands out for the high quality of its ingredients, including dried sourdough and stone-ground flour, giving the final product an authentic flavor and a texture that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The Producer: Menchetti
Crafted by the renowned Tuscan bakery Menchetti, this base brings generations of experience in milling and dough preparation to the table. The company is known for using carefully selected raw materials and long fermentation processes, ensuring highly digestible products with a rich taste. The addition of extra virgin olive oil further enriches the dough, making it fragrant and flavorful in keeping with the best Italian tradition.
Kitchen Characteristics
The neutral white dough is extremely versatile, acting as the perfect canvas for any type of topping. Pre-baking guarantees a stable base that does not become overly soggy with the addition of sauces, tomatoes, or cheese, maintaining its crispy structure. The presence of re-milled durum wheat semolina in the dough adds a pleasant rustic touch, enhancing both classic toppings and the most sophisticated gourmet combinations.
Use in the Professional Kitchen
This product is an essential ally for pizzerias, restaurants, bars, and pubs looking to expand their menu without the need for a dedicated pizza chef or long fermentation times. For best results, simply take the base out of the freezer about 30 minutes before service. Once topped to taste, bake in a preheated oven between 250°C and 290°C for just 4-6 minutes, yielding a hot, fragrant pizza that looks just like a freshly rolled artisanal product.
Format and Storage
The product is sold in convenient 6 kg cartons, containing 24 bases of 250 grams each, making inventory management and food cost control easy. As a frozen food, it must be strictly stored at a constant temperature of -18°C or lower. This storage method ensures that all the organoleptic and structural characteristics of the dough remain unchanged over time until thawing.
