How Engineering Becomes Flavor

The Fritsch Doughliner’s SoftProcessing™ protects pore structure while precise sheeting controls thickness and weight. That gentle handling yields an open, layered crumb that carries Southwest warmth beautifully — never harsh, always smooth.

What You’ll Run

Handling & Bake Notes

Designed to remove variables while preserving artisan results. Always test and tune to your oven and line.

Handling

  • Storage: Keep frozen; minimize temperature cycling.

  • Topping: Maintain even load; avoid heavy wet spots.

Bake

  • Deck/Stone: Preheated surface; target even bottom color + crisp rim.
  • Conveyor: Tune belt speed/temperature for golden edge and open crumb.
  • Par-Bake Option: If used, cool on rack before finishing to protect lamination.

What Testers Say

“We put it in front of two extremes — folks who avoid jalapeños and folks who eat them raw. Both said the same thing: love at first bite.”
