Process

The bakery semi-operation itself starts with a cold storage of flour and other bakery raw materials. The flour is brought into the bakery area from the warehouse by means of a stainless steel ruddle. Bakery Pilot Plant is used for production of bread, regular and fine pastries. There is a flour sifter, dough kneader, mixer, rolling machine with  divider and  roll forming machine.

The kneading machine is used for maturing the dough and then for rising the shaped pieces of dough (wedges).

To bake the products there are 2 ovens – a baking oven and a rotary oven, which is accessed by a trolley with sheets on which the products are mounted.

New recipes are tested, e.g. with the addition of bran and other grain products than wheat and rye. Baked products are evaluated according to binding methodologies (volume on a volumetric gauge, yield and baking losses), including sensory evaluation.The bakery semi-operation itself starts with a cold storage of flour and other bakery raw materials.
