ItalCrust Preparation Guidelines
- Store ItalCrust frozen (defrosted crusts can be kept refrigerated for 2-3 days in the original bag).
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees (oven temps above 425 are all possible with some modified procedures).
- Thaw crust first (about 10 min at room temp, or 4 hours in a refrigerator).
- Top the crust as desired. (We recommend using less sauce and cheese at first).
- Bake directly on the rack ( do not use a pan or screen except in very hot ovens over 550 degrees).
- Rotate when one edge is browned to desired cook level.
- Finish until all edges are brown.
ItalCrust is made from fresh pizza dough, so it may take a few tries to get it right, especially when changing from dough or an industrial par-baked pizza crust. Feel free to email us with questions at info@italcrust.com
ItaCrust cooks in all oven types including conventional, convection, combi, conveyor/impinger, deck oven and even wood fired ovens.
Any oven that can bake pizza can bake an ItalCrust pizza.
