Abstract
A method of making an intermediate stabilized dough shape by heating a proofed dough shape with a combination of convection and microwave heating sufficient to stabilize the dough shape, to form a light skin thereon, to inhibit moisture loss from the interior thereof, and to decrease microbial activity therein. The pastry dough shape has an interior and an exterior, and the light skin is formed on the exterior to provide a moisture barrier and structural integrity sufficient to inhibit moisture loss from the interior and retain the shape during heating, handling, storage and cooking thereof to a finished product.
