Comment: ""Part-baked" is factually correct, but doesn't work so well on a product information sheet.
"pre-baked" would mean that is if fully baked.
So I go with "parbaked" - as that means half (or partially baked) and is a professional sounding term.
The item could be "pre-baked" however.

part-baked
You often see this on packets of bread which you finish off in the oven at home yourself, such as bread rolls and baguettes.

| I actually haven't seen that, so this is a good suggestion. I'll have to do some research. Thanks! |

: What I would call it. By the way it is "halvbakat" in Swedish. "Halvbakt" is Norwegian.
