parbaked

Halfway through oven

Parbaked describes bread or other baked goods that have been partially baked, then frozen or packaged for later finishing.

The initial baking sets the structure without browning the crust, so the final baking produces fresh-from-the-oven results: parbaked baguettes, parbaked pizza crust.

Common in restaurants and supermarkets where the appearance of fresh baking matters more than baking from scratch.
