BAKING APPLICATIONS

The world of bread-making is personal and dynamic, whether you’re creating artisanal flatbread, traditional brioche, baking pastries or authentic sourdough bread. Yeast is the key ingredient that brings flour and water to life, allowing creativity and the art of bread-making to create a vast array of loaves, rolls, buns, pizzas and bakery treats. With yeast being a powerful symbol of life, bread continues to be a prominent food in many communities. The aroma of baking bread alone is often enough to transport people across time and continents.

CROISSANTS & PASTRIES

With our foundations in France, it’s only natural that Lesaffre has a proven portfolio of baking solutions for pastries such as viennoiserie, croissants and laminated specialty pastries. The term Viennoiseries means “from Vienna”, the capital of Austria which is the alleged birth place of the croissant. The famous “Boulangerie Viennoise” was founded there in the 19th century, with its success emulated widely.

Eaten alone or with a filling today, croissants come in a variety of shapes and sizes across the globe today and Viennese pastries continue to delight consumers and bakers. Creating that perfect combination of flaky and soft viennoiseries requires unique formulations.

Whether you are after solutions to reduce tearing, increase volume and lamination or provide resilience without losing softness, our experts can guide you to the best solution for your processes and needs.

It’s the latest café and pub trend: the traditional brioche bun. Light, airy and slightly sweet, brioche buns today can be seen hugging a variety of fillings such as bacon and eggs, burgers, pulled pork sliders and more. In fact, there has been a 59 percent increase in consumption of brioche buns on Australian menus between 2012-2015, according to Mintel.
