1. Automate your dough-making process. One of the most essential ingredients to make a good pizza is the dough! You can’t make a pizza without dough, right?! We all know that prepping dough can be the most time consuming part of the morning prep routine, but there is a much faster way to do it. The first way to automate your dough-prep is to invest in a dough rounder. A dough rounder allows your store to be much more efficient and have the same results for every dough ball. For example, the Somerset Rounder can produce 7,200 air-tight and uniform pieces an hour and can round dough from 1oz to 36oz. There’s a stick resistant dough intake allowing your product to move seamlessly through the rounder.
Now that you’ve got all of your dough balls prepped for the day, the next most time consuming part of the dough process is rolling your dough or tossing it into shape for your pizzas. That’s why it might be a good idea to get a roller/sheeter for your kitchen. Take a look at this video to see how a Somerset rounder/sheeter easily makes the perfect shaped dough for pizzas. The Somerset rounder/sheeter is available at Northern Pizza Equipment, as well as a variety of other rounders/sheeters!
2. Okay, so you’ve got your dough prepped for the day and can easily shape it into the right size for your pizzas. But what about the toppings? In our opinion, the most important pizza topping is CHEESE! You’re sure to need a LOT of cheese prepped for the day since most pizzas start with some type of cheese. We can’t imagine how time consuming it would be to have to hand-grate all of that cheese that you’re going to need. That’s why we recommend one of the most efficient kitchen necessities, the Somerset Cheese Shredder. This is the best cheese shredder on the market, and it can shred a whopping 25 pounds of cheese per minute. If you don’t believe us, check out this video that shows the Somerset Cheese Shredder shredding cheese like it’s nothing. Of course, this helpful piece of machinery is available at Northern Pizza Equipment.
3. Dough and cheese are essential pizza ingredients, but what about the other toppings? Some popular pizza toppings include vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, and peppers – all of which need to be diced to prep for the day! Just like cheese, we can’t imagine how time consuming it must be to prep all of these ingredients by hand. Luckily, we have one more recommendation to make your prep process more efficient. The Nemco Easy Chopper is the perfect dicing solution! This chopper is small in design so that it can fit on a prep table, yet has enough clearance to fit a 6 inch pan underneath. That means all you have to do is place your vegetable on the blade, pull down the handle, and your perfect sized chopped pieces will fall into your prep container! If you’re still hand-chopping all of your veggies, visit the Northern Pizza Equipment website to put your order in for this amazing piece of equipment.
