Bread is the undisputed king on Polish tables, whose reign is unchallenged by the changing culinary trends. Baking the best quality bread is an art that requires the right tools and skills. Let's see what bakery artists should pay attention to when choosing bakery equipment .
Tradition is a sacred thing. Assortment necessary
When deciding to enter the local food service market, especially in a narrow field such as baking, we need to take care of some basic issues. The visions of the crowd lining up at six in the morning for hot pastries that the baker just pulled from the oven are certainly very motivating. It's not worth giving up on them, but if we want this scenario to come true, we must take a few important steps, keeping our feet firmly on the ground. Bread, and especially bread, have a very rich history and symbolism deeply rooted in cultures around the world. Each country, and sometimes even a region, is famous for some special kind of baking. Italians have ciabatta, French baguettes and croissants, in the Middle East they crumb flatbread, and in Poland the most popular are sourdough bread and crispy rolls. Meeting clientele's expectations requires more than simply referring to tradition. Practice suggests that setting up a prospering bakery is not a piece of cake. In order for the ground grains of wheat, rye and other grains to turn into fragrant baking, we will need appropriate bakery equipment.
Planetary mixers for bakery
We start completing the equipment, similar to the bread production process itself, from kneading the dough. A bakery, like other establishments in the catering industry, needs to work efficiently to survive and be successful. Although the dough is still kneaded by hand in home conditions, the process had to be fully automated in professional bakeries. The strength of human muscles has been replaced by mechanical arms and agitators. Choosing the right planetary mixer should be dictated by the size of the premises and the target capacity. The growing demand for the production of dough determines the choice of a larger model. For small plants, we recommend mixers from the PICCOLO series, and for medium and large plants, our recommendation is the CARAMELLA and ALIEN series. Most of the planetary mixers are automats with intuitive operation, and so on the assumption trouble-free operation. Since the dough has already been kneaded, it should be given the appropriate shape. So let's move on to the bakery table.
What appliances and furniture for a bakery? Bakery tables primarily
While bakery planetary mixers do a great deal of the hard and arduous work of a baker, the human factor must not be lacking in making bread. Experienced staff should carefully control the entire process and take care of the quality of baking, as well as divide the dough beforehand and form it into the desired shape. The bakery is not without a spacious work surface. Bakery tables are the basis for efficient work in the back room, because it is on them that bread, rolls and other types of bread take their proper form. In addition to tables, the bakery should be equipped with refrigerated cabinets for storing delicate ingredients, as well as dishwashers for baking baskets. Maintaining a high level of hygiene is dictated not only by the strict standards of the Sanepid. Also a matter of common sense and responsibility for the well-being of your customers.
Bakery ovens – the essence of the bakery
There is no doubt that the oven is the center of every bakery. Its character has changed over the yearsóin – it used to be fired with wood, today it is usually powered by electricity. Bakery ovens are available in various configurations and sizes. In professional bakery facilities, each type of cake is baked according to specific requirements. Using proven ingredients and unchanging recipes, we will maintain a constant, recognizable taste and character of the baked goods, guaranteeing the commitment of the customer. As a standard, bakeries nowadays use modular baking ovens with many chambers, enabling the baking conditions to be adjusted to the product and the simultaneous baking of many products. Convection ovens and combi steamers are also frequently used, which enable the regeneration of frozen products.
Completing the full range of bakeries can seem like a daunting task. Our experience and customer feedback suggest that it is worth spending a bit of time on a good market research and optimal choice. One of these is certainly an investment in reliable and functional equipment that will drive the bakery business for many years.
