Abstract: A method for making pre-baked pizza shells and the like, commercially, in which each pizza is individually formed as distinguished from the usual practice in which sheeters and die cutting ring rollers are employed.A charge of dough from a rounder is deposited on a reusable cast mold in which the dough is proofed prior to baking. A reusable lid is applied to the mold to provide a support when the assembly is inverted, the mold reversed, and the product baked on the lid.
