Scrap Dough and Leftover Bread Processing
In processes where dough is cut, such as pizza production, large quantities of dough scrap arise. This scrap can be processed directly as a slurry, or put through wheat or rye bread fermentation with special starter cultures and equipment, fully fermented and turned into an aromatic sourdough. Leftover bread can likewise be broken down and fermented into a sourdough with real character.
Reusing bread and dough scrap does more than save resources; it also contributes to the quality of the dough and of the finished product. Flavour, texture, freshness, shelf life and suitability for freezing are all improved, while the whole process stays under your control.

Recovery equipment
How much scrap dough and bread arises in a day?
The Ecoline bread fermentation system
Designed for a pre-dough capacity of 200 to 1,000 kilograms. Its standout feature is a durable knife agitator that can break down whole loaves of bread. Through this process surplus bread becomes a valuable raw material again, an advantage both for product quality and for the economics of the business.
