parbaking
Halfway oven treatment
Parbaking is partially baking bread or other dough, then stopping before it's fully cooked.
The item can be frozen or stored, then finished later with a final bake.
This lets bakeries and restaurants serve fresh-from-the-oven products without starting from scratch: The croissants are parbaked and shipped frozen to each location.
