Versatility: Allows for customization of crust… thick, thin, raised-edge, etc. Can be used to prepare anything from a traditional pizza crust to breadsticks, calzones, stromboli, and fried doughs.

Handling Instructions: Dough Balls (Shelf life: 90 days, frozen)

• 1. Keep product frozen at 0° (-18° C) or below until ready to use.
• 2. Remove the desired number of dough balls from the freezer and allow each to thaw overnight at 40-45° F in cooler on oiled pans covered with plastic to prevent drying. As an alternative, use the same day after minimum 4 hours thaw time at room temperature, 75°F (23°C). Small dough balls thaw faster than large ones.
• 3. Remove dough balls from the cooler and dust each with flour.
• 4. To ease stretching, allow the dough to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or more before shaping.
• 5. Shape the dough ball to fit the desired pan using a mechanical sheeter or by hand.
• 6. Place pizza dough on an oiled pizza pan and carefully dock to minimize blistering and/or bubbling during baking.
• 7. Brush crust with oil or cover with plastic and let it stand at room temperature for approximately 1-2 hours or until desired thickness is obtained.
• 8. Add sauce, cheese and toppings.
