如何用基准技术使工匠面包现代化。

Brought to you by ECD BakeWATCH.

工匠面包基于“增大化现实”技术e unique, natural and tasty. Items in this category include crusty baguettes, pretzel buns, focaccia and naturally leavened multigrain bread. They use simple ingredients and are often described as country style or rustic. When thinking about these breads, we conjure up images of craft bakers using traditional stone hearth ovens.

Benchmark Technology

As this market grows and bakers strive to maintain the “craft” feel of these breads, they must consider their options to optimize products. Bread quality is an important consideration and embracing technology can help with that.

基准技术can help a baker scale up production from a small oven to a larger more efficient one. It is a common method used by bakers to understand how their traditional smaller oven performs and how their baked product reacts to it. Once information like this is obtained, a baker can determine the perfect settings for their larger oven to perform exactly like their older smaller one.

So, instead of relying on observations such as bread color to get the right oven set up, rely on benchmark technology and热剖面. This profile is the data collected from the current baking process mapped out in the曲线, or what is known as the relationship between the time spent in the oven and the moisture in the bread.

Thermal profiling solutions, such asM.O.L.E. ® from ECD BakeWATCH，不仅量化了烘焙过程，还可以分析和记录它。一旦这个过程是指纹识别，它很容易过渡到大型工业烤箱，它消除了需要额外的试验和错误。

Investing in this technology comes with a huge payback. The consumer gets the same consistent product every time and the baker maintains an efficient and profitable business.

The Future

Consumers will always demand variety and want new products. The artisan bread market continues to satisfy their desires and gives us lots of new tasty products. As craft bakers continue to develop new items, profitability and ability to scale up becomes critical.

M.O.L.E.® thermal profiling from ECD BakeWATCH is the tool that allows bakers to transition and scale up these craft breads efficiently. If you are an artisan baker or you are wanting to make changes to your ovens,联系ECDto see how they can help you.
