Better-for-you preferences also apply to bread. Several mixing options help increase production volumes while providing goods that still feel and taste artisan-made.
While recipe variations for baguettes and bread rolls are not only to be expected but also make for unique selling points, high hydration rates and long dough resting times are the calling card of more sophisticated, authentic premium products.
Bread-making is a scientific symphony of physical, chemical, and rheological processes. Beyond the apparent simplicity of mixing flour, water, and yeast lies an intricate web of molecular and mechanical changes that transform these raw materials into bread.
ABI will exhibit its KATANA multi-purpose robot scoring solution, which now also offers a waterjet scoring tool. The Toronto-based company will also present Eye-Q, its new AI-enabled complete quality control system, providing product quality analysis across different stages of production.
