Cooking Instructions

STORAGE:  Store ItalCrust frozen up until expiration date.  Always keep ItalCrust in its plastic bag to preserve moisture.  Do not refreeze.

DEFROSTING:  For best results, slack crusts individually at room temperature just until soft (15-20 min).  Or move a full case or closed bag to the refrigerator the night before and use within 1-3 days.

PREPARATION:  Completely defrost ItalCrust before cooking.  Crusts perform best when topped after being slacked.  A defrosted ItalCrust will be soft & pliable.  Do not cook from frozen.

COOKING:

Regardless of oven type, preheat before cooking ItalCrust to 450F or higher for best results.

Place defrosted topped pizza directly on the rack or deck.  For most ovens, do not ItalCrust on a pan, mesh or paper*.  We do not recommend cooking ItalCrust on a stone unless it is part of the oven itself.

Cook times range from 80 seconds – 7 minutes depending on toppings, oven and temperature.  Most ovens do a better job when the pizza is rotated 180 degrees at the halfway point (not needed for impingers).

First time users:  Be patient.  ItalCrust can take a few tries to get right.  A correctly cooked ItalCrust will look like the pizza in the image below, and will be crispy on the bottom and edges.  If you need more help, contact us and we’ll get right back to you.
