What is an Improver and why should you use it?

Improvers are mixtures of substances that each contribute specific functions in dough mixing, proofing, and baking of various bread and Vennoirserie products.

It helps fight against inconsistency in batching and will help to prevent line stoppages caused by sticky or otherwise unusable dough. One poor batch can be the difference in making your quota, and perhaps even your profits for the day.

Bread improver makes the baking process more manageable.

The most functional components of improvers are emulsifiers, enzymes, and flour treatment agents. Each ingredient provides technological benefits to the dough by interacting with the flour components. Some of these interactions complement those of others, so an improver needs to be carefully balanced to provide the correct characteristics in the finished baked product.

Enzymes are denatured during baking and are treated as processing aids, therefore they need not be labelled. Emulsifiers and flour treatment agents are E-number additives and must be labelled. Where a ‘Clean Label’ product is needed, enzymes can be used to replace E-numbers.
