Pan-style and hand-tossed pizza crusts require a strong flour such as our Full Strength® formula. Bromated, enriched and malted with 12.6% protein, it produces dough that’s thick and chewy so you can load it up with cheese and toppings. In 50 lb. bags.

  • Medium protein level provides a balanced gluten strength
  • Good dough strength for a tender chew
  • Ideal for thicker hand-tossed pizzas

Pan Style Dough Procedure

Add the water, flour, sugar, salt and yeast to bowl and blend until flour is hydrated by the water (approximately 1 minute). Pause mixer and add oil, then continue to mix to just under full gluten development (approximately 7-9 minutes).

Divide dough into desired size dough pieces, round, and place in oiled dough trays.

Proof overnight in the walk-in cooler (12-24 hours) and then bring to room temperature before use.

Sheet, top and bake at desired temperature (suggested 450-500 degrees F) until done.
