• Grain, water, bakers yeast
• Grain has three parts bran (outer layer), germ
  (reproductive system), and the endosperm (inner

How bread is made

• -Grain mill The harvested grain is grinded and
  then sold to bakeries
• -The bakery
• 1. In the mixer, yeast and water are added to the
  flour. Other ingredients are added such as salt,
  sugar, gluten, and honey.

• The growth of yeast produces gas bubbles (CO2),
  which makes the bread rise. In a factory it takes
  about three hours to ferment the yeast.
• 2. The mixer then kneads the dough for about
  eight minutes.
• 3. The dough is put onto a slide before it
  reaches the dough divider.

• 4. The dough slowly rolls through the divider and
  mechanical arms cut the dough at predetermined
  lengths.
• 5. The dough is put on to a conveyor and is
  shaped into balls.
• 6. Dough balls are floured so they will not stick
  before being molded.

  so yeast can act) where it is folded and rolled
  and put into pans.
• 8. Dough pieces go through the prover at 42
  degrees Celsius and 70 humidity. Then the dough
  is baked for 20 minutes at 255 degrees.
• 9. Then the bread is placed on a conveyor to cool.
