Abstract
Compositions and methods for double-crusted pizza product and method for making are disclosed having a peripheral gap extending around, or substantially around, the product perimeter between upper and lower crusts forming a gap. One embodiment provides a double-crusted layer pizza product having a lower crust layer forming a base; an upper crust layer positioned above the lower crust layer; a sauce layer applied directly adjacent to the upper crust layer on a lower surface thereof and positioned between the lower and upper crust layers; at least one ingredient; and the sauce layer having a water concentration of at least 40 percent weight. A second sauce layer or oil layer can be optionally applied adjacent to an upper surface of the lower crust layer. Cut-outs of the second crust layer can occur prior to or after hot-pressing a billet. Optional methods can include spraying the second sauce layer.
