5 Ways to Improve Dough Consistency

Achieving uniformly perfect pizza and bread dough consistency is a challenge for many pizzaioli and bakers. In order to guarantee success, the gluten in a dough must be developed perfectly which requires a lot of time, highly skilled bakers and pizza makers, as well as the proper ingredients and conditions. Using the wrong flour, under-kneading, and inconsistent leavening are common issues in commercial kitchens.

We enjoy partnering with companies that provide innovative solutions to their customers in the same way that we do. Lesaffre is a company which prides itself in offering ingredients and recipes that are easy to store, prepare, and use, while helping bakers to both save time and meet the growing demand for food ‘on the go.’ Another fantastic feature, in our opinion, is their offering of versatile products and their new Clean Label Series.

Label-1The Saf Pro® Clean Label Volume Improver Series includes non-GMO dough improvers that enhance dough strength, gas retention, and volume for all yeast-raised baked goods. Each of the products is certified Kosher, Halal, Vegan, Non-GMO, and Clean Label. While Saf-Pro® Volume 3.1 is a clean label bread improver that improves the consistency and quality of all dough types, it’s also specifically useful with pizza dough.

Here are 5 ways that using the Saf Pro® Clean Label Volume Improver Series Improves Dough Consistency:

  1. Improved Tolerance
    Clean label dough conditioners improve the tolerance, consistency, and quality of the dough.
  1. Sensory Enhancement
    Clean-label, emulsifier-free bread improvers produce a final product with a richer crust color, consistent crumb structure and texture.
