Parbaking (also known as part-baked in the UK ) is a cooking technique in which a bread or dough product is partially baked and then rapidly frozen for storage or assembled into a final product. It has been used to increase the mass manufacture and distribution of bread products, including bagels.
== History == Parbaking is the technique used by "Brown 'n Serve Rolls," which have also been called "blondies." In 1949, the Los Angeles Times described the product as the result of experimentation by a former GI, Joseph A. Gregor, who owned a bakery business in Avon Park, Florida.
