Choosing the Right Fermentation Method for Bread Production
Fermentation shapes the flavor, aroma, and texture of bread. The ideal method depends on your goals-whether efficiency, flavor development, or process control. There are three primary approaches: 1. Direct FermentationAlso known as the straight dough method, this technique involves adding commercial yeast directly to the dough. It’s fast and consistent, ideal for high-volume production, but…
