38.3kg: Wheat flour
29kg: Sourdough
20 litres: Water
9kg: Rye flour
1kg: White salt
1kg: Yeast
Method
The sourdough is manufactured in tanks, operated by a computer, which looks after the proper temperature and conditions during the entire mixing process. The ready starter is weighed then poured into the mixing bowl, where it is combined with all the other waiting ingredients, including: wheat flour, water, rye flour, salt and yeast. The mixing time is approximately 20 minutes.
1. The dough is transferred to a divider then a rounder. The shaped pieces of the dough end up in plastic baking baskets and are moved to a proving room for approximately 50 minutes.
2. In the proving room, the pieces of dough are leavened into proper loaf sizes under optimal conditions of 40ºC and the appropriate humidity.
3. They are transported to the ovens and are baked in a temperature of 215ºC for approximately 45 minutes.
4. After cooling, slicing and packing, the final product is ready for sale.
