Hans Flick made only one change from the make an impression on Borussia Dortmund as Lucas Hernandez replaced Jerome Boateng in the centre of the Bayern defence.
It didn't take the Bavarians too long to find the breakthrough as Benjamin Pavard's shot took a deflection off Jorgensen and sailed into the back of the web after 15 minutes.
The lead was doubled in the 29th minute and Pavard had not been to be denied this time around after nodding home a cross from Joshua Kimmich for his fifth goal of the growing season.
It had been another dominant half from Flick's charges, who bagged a third goal two minutes prior to the halftime break through Robert Lewandowski after a well-worked team move.
Bayern continued the dominance following the restart as Lewandowski completed his brace with a simple finish from close-range after some good work by Serge Gnabry.
The fifth goal arrived on 52 minutes, with Alphonso Davies getting on the score-sheet by slotting home from close range after skipping past a few players.
With the hosts comfortably leading, Flick opted for a double switch as Ivan Perisic and Alvaro Odriozola replaced Kinglsey Coman and Pavard for the ultimate 30 minutes.
Unfortunately for Dusseldorf it had been one-way traffic for almost all of the contact, as Bayern shot-stopper Manuel Neuer barely had a save to create throughout the encounter.
Bayern saw out the rest of the stages of the next half with relative ease as they edged nearer to another Bundesliga title by moving 10 points free from Borussia Dortmund, who are doing his thing Sunday.
