Abstract
A process for producing a pizza crust, comprising the steps of: fitting uncooked dough into a base template, placing a first cover template thereover, pressing down the first cover template and removing the first cover template, to thereby form a base layer; and supplying uncooked dough over the formed base layer, placing a second cover template thereover, pressing down the second cover template and removing the second cover template, to thereby prepare a top layer; and a pizza crust produced thereby. Additionally, an apparatus is described for producing a pizza crust comprising: a base template defining a shape of a lower surface of a base layer of the pizza crust; a first cover template defining a shape of an upper surface of the base layer of the pizza crust; and a second cover template defining a shape of an upper surface of a top layer of the pizza crust, wherein at least one of the first cover template and second cover template is provided with a plurality of needle-like projections for making holes in said layer.
