Squeezeeta is a method of producing pizza dough more quickly and conveniently, for both consumers and manufacturers. It is particularly useful in manufacturing—enabling a shorter assembly line than in current set-ups, faster speeds, and reductions in energy consumption and cost of production. The method produces a packaged good in the form of a squeezable pizza dough in a pouch (sac-à-poche), marketable to both retail consumers and food services. The method can also be used for bread, pasta, croissant, crepes etc. Squeezeeta also enables consumers to create pizza at home from scratch, which is fully customizable in shape, size and crust thickness, and greatly surpasses competitors for freshness, quality and taste. Requiring no special expertise or professional pizza-maker skills, the Squeezeeta method also allows food services operations to achieve huge savings. The Squeezeeta method can be applied, with proper adjustments, to other popular dough-based products (including bread and pasta).
