Dough-based support, in particular for a pizza

Abstract

A pizza support characterised by comprising a flattened focaccia ( 2 ) provided on its lower surface with an edible handgrip ( 6, 13 ).

1 . A pizza support comprising a flattened focaccia having a lower surface and an edible handgrip on-said lower surface.  
   
   
       2 . A support as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the handgrip is one piece with the flattened focaccia.  
   
   
       3 . A support as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the handgrip comprises a solid body.  
   
   
       4 . A support as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the handgrip comprises a hollow body.  
   
   
       5 . A support as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the handgrip has a hole with its axis parallel to the plane of the flattened focaccia.  
   
   
       6 . A support as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the handgrip comprises two flaps obtained by double-folding the flattened focaccia.  
   
   
       7 . A support as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the flattened focaccia has a central hole, and the handgrip comprises a cylindrical body insertable into the central hole of the flattened focaccia.  
   
   
       8 . A support as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the flattened focaccia has two parallel grooves defining a rib coplanar with the lower surface of the flattened focaccia.  
   
   
       9 . A method for obtaining dough-based supports, comprising forming a flattened focaccia having a lower surface and forming an edible handgrip on the flattened focaccia lower surface.  
   
   
       10 . A method as claimed in  claim 9  wherein the handgrip is formed during the formation of the flattened foccacia.  
   
   
       11 . A method as claimed in  claim 9 , further comprising forming the flattened foccacia and the handgrip separately from each other.  
   
   
       12 . A method as claimed in  claim 9 , further comprising heating the support to cause at least its partial hardening.
