Every October 16th, we celebrate World Bread Day, an opportunity to pay tribute to one of the oldest and most fundamental foods in human history. Bread has been a symbol of sustenance, tradition and culture, present on tables around the world in an infinite variety of forms and flavors.

Bread: Much More Than a Food

Bread is not only an essential element in the daily diet, but it is also part of rituals and festivities in different cultures. From the crusty French baguette to the rye bread of Eastern Europe or the pita bread of the Middle East, each region has its unique version. Its versatility and its ability to adapt to local ingredients make bread a universal and valuable food.

The demand for healthier breads with natural or gluten-free ingredients continues to rise. Bakeries that invest in equipment such as Vemag dough portioners or modular solutions from Mfitaly can quickly adapt to consumer preferences, offering artisanal and special products.

Tips to Improve Production in Bakeries:

• Optimize dough preparation: Use equipment such as Vemag's dough portioners to ensure accurate weight and gentle handling of doughs. This not only guarantees consistency in each batch, but also reduces ingredient waste.
• Save time with automation: Modular equipment such as Mfitaly's can automate several steps of the process. This allows you to produce more in less time, while maintaining quality and reducing manual workload.
• Maximize the yield of the oven: Use high-quality non-stick pans and trays, such as those from Kempf, to improve heat distribution and prevent products from sticking. This allows for even baking and makes cleaning easier.
• Invest in versatile equipment: Rollmatic equipment, such as its bread sheeters or slicers, offers the flexibility to adapt to different types of products, from rolls to doughs for fine pastries. This allows you to diversify your offering without the need for multiple machines.
• Diversify your offering: Consider expanding your product range by offering options such as gluten-free bread or filled bakery products. With Vemag's modular system, you can adapt your machines to produce different types of breads and pastries with ease.
• Monitor technological advances: Stay up to date with the latest innovations in bakery equipment. Technology is constantly evolving, and having up-to-date machinery, such as Propatec solutions, will give you a competitive advantage.
