In Crust We Trust - Lesaffre Pizza Solutions
Speciality pizza yeasts
Lesaffre offers a diverse selection of specialty pizza yeasts, catering to various production setups. Whether it’s micro-bakeries crafting artisan pizzas, restaurant chains, or industrial frozen solutions, Lesaffre provides the perfect yeast options.
Instant Dry Yeast
Derived from a yeast strain meticulously selected and cultivated by Lesaffre, Saf-Pizza is an instant dried yeast tailored to meet the requirements of pizza makers.
With saf-pizza yeast, rolling out dough becomes easier and pizza bases can be prepared more quickly. This yeast effectively prevents any dough shrinkage experienced with all-purpose dried yeast, ensuring the perfect shape, and preventing ‘ovalling’.
It also has the advantage of having a longer shelf life and easier storage (Avoid for frozen dough process or when ice or cold water are used).
Compressed Fresh Yeast
Standard compressed fresh yeast is usually an all-rounder that can be used to make pizza dough giving it a distinctive flavour and a soft, chewy texture.
Compressed fresh yeast can contribute with a distinct flavour profile to the pizza dough. It provides a subtle tanginess and a slight fermentation aroma that can enhance the overall taste of the pizza crust.
Liquid Fresh Yeast
Thanks to its ease of dosing, liquid fresh yeast is generally well suited for automated production of pizzas. Liquid yeast is pre-activated and ready to use, eliminating the need for rehydration and reducing proofing time. This saves time and streamlines the production process in an industrial setting where efficiency is crucial.
Liquid yeast is produced under controlled conditions, ensuring consistent quality and performance. This helps maintain uniformity in dough fermentation and final product characteristics across different batches and production runs.
Free-Flowing Frozen Yeast
The Free-Flowing Frozen Yeast (or semi-dry yeast) has been especially developed for frozen dough stability. Due to its “fermentation delay” effect, it can be used to avoid too fast a start of fermentation before shaping (high dough temperature or too long process).

Lesaffre improvers also provide an excellent volume and a perfect freshness and softness.
Deactivated Yeast and Dough Relaxers
Typically, thin Italian pizza dough does not require the use of a pizza improver. However, it is highly recommended to incorporate a reducing agent, such as deactivated yeast, to enhance the dough’s characteristics.
With Bakers Bonus® RS190 deactivated yeast, you can elevate your pizza dough’s extendibility, allowing you to master the art of pizza spinning and achieve a new level of thinness in your pizza stretching! Albeit less elastic, dough is nevertheless more extensible, thereby minimising the shrinkage effects during shaping.
Deactivated yeast is not only suitable for pizza dough but also finds adaptation in various other applications, such as European bread, baguettes, grissini, buns, or pitta bread.
Sourdoughs
Sourdough pizzas can be absolutely delicious and offer unique flavour profiles. This fermentation process can result in a range of flavours, including a pleasant tanginess and complexity that many people find appealing.
Starter Cultures
You can use the Livendo® sourdough starter cultures to create your own recipe using unique strains of bacteria, to produce sourdough pizzas with unique defined characteristics.
Live Sourdoughs
Livendo® live sourdoughs offer a convenient solution for pizza bakers, eliminating the need for a sourdough preparation phase. These ready-to-use sourdoughs come in a liquid form, allowing for immediate incorporation into pizza dough. By utilizing a ready-to-use live sourdough, bakers can save valuable time while ensuring dough stability and consistency throughout the baking process.
Deactivated Sourdoughs
Livendo® dry deactivated sourdoughs offer a convenient way to infuse pizzas with delightful sourdough aromas. These deactivated sourdoughs are made from fermented flours such as wheat, rye, spelt, and more. They require no preparation and can be directly incorporated into the mixer, saving time and effort in the pizza-making process.
