Pizza is undoubtedly one of the most popular foods around the world. But a pizza must have the right texture, crust, and taste to be perfect. That’s where our solutions come into the picture.
The role of fat in pizza dough is similar to that of bread. It helps with fermentation and affects softness, shelf life, volume, crumb structure, and crust. While various types of fats will work for bread, flaked shortening is the best solution for pizza. Our flaked fats help to shorten time of dough fermentation, create more aerated texture in pizza after baking, and allow for better flavor distribution. They also create a softer crumb structure, and offer a crispy crust, with a soft, fluffy interior.
Mix it directly into the dough
You can mix our flaked shortening directly into the dough towards the end of the mixing process. It gives your pizza a porous internal structure, and it makes production much more efficient.
