New to Pan’Artisan’s Italiano range is the Pinsa, an Italian bread that meets the needs of both operators and consumers wanting authentic, regional specialities.
Originating from rural communities on the outskirts of Rome, this irregular, oval shaped bread is similar to pizza, but is known for its cloud-like appearance, exceptional lightness, flavour and digestibility. Made in Italy, 100% selected, stone-milled, Italian grains (type 0 and type 2) and rice flour are combined with sourdough and a natural leavening process to produce this delicious and uniquely textured bread.
It can be topped with seasonal, savoury ingredients to make a gourmet flatbread or open sandwich, used as a superior bread alternative, topped like a pizza and baked, or finished with sweet ingredients such as fruit, honey or mascarpone for an inventive dessert. Its structure holds toppings without becoming soggy, making it ideal for fast-paced service while maintaining a premium presentation – perfect for restaurants, cafés, catering events and grab-and-go formats alike.
The Pinsa also has the added benefits of being suitable for vegan, vegetarian and lactose-intolerant diets, measures approximately 18 x 35 cm (250g), and is supplied frozen. It is suitable for all oven types and once defrosted, the recommended cooking time is just four to six minutes at 250oC.
