03 Example 1
Fresh bread from frozen dough
Bread in supermarkets is often baked in the store from a frozen semi-finished product. The dough is frozen at the factory, travels to the store in a refrigerated trailer and only there goes into the oven. After baking it tastes just like freshly made bread.
-
Factory
Dough from flour and yeast
The factory prepares the dough from flour and yeast, shapes it and sends it straight to freezing.
-
Shock freezing
Down to -25°C
The dough is frozen very quickly to -25°C, which stops fermentation and preserves quality. Goods prepared this way can stay in the freezer for up to six months.
-
Loading
Ramp and refrigerated trailer
A factory worker uses a forklift to load the frozen pallets into the refrigerated trailer. The doors stay open as briefly as possible so the temperature does not rise.
-
Route
Transport at -25°C
The refrigeration unit holds the set temperature for the whole route and the recorder logs it. The forwarder stays in contact with the driver until unloading.
-
Delivery to the store
Receiving and freezer
Store staff receive the delivery in the agreed window, check the temperature and move the goods to the back-room freezer.
-
Depending on demand
Thawing and baking
A store employee takes out as much dough as the day needs. After thawing, it is baked in the oven, so bread is fresh at any time of day.
-
On the shelf
Warm bread and rolls
Freshly baked bread goes on the shelf. It tastes just like bread baked from scratch, even if the dough spent six months in the freezer.
-
Shopping
Shopping basket
The customer puts fresh, still warm bread in the basket.
-
On the way home
