Abstract
A method of par-baking a foodstuff includes the steps of providing a raw foodstuff having a generally planar top surface, the foodstuff once par-baked being adapted for a completion of the cooking with a topping on the top surface thereof. A topping-substitute having a thermal insulation value corresponding generally to that of the topping is disposed on the top surface of the foodstuff. The foodstuff is par-baked with the topping-substitute thereon, and the topping-substitute is then removed from the par-baked foodstuff.
