3 Ways to Control Oven Humidity
While your products are busy baking in the oven, they need available moisture, or humidity in the air. Without it, heat isn’t transferred to the product so starch gelatinization and other reactions can't take place, and moisture migration can't happen properly. That's why it's crucial to control oven humidity. Factors that influence it are: Oven Load: Humidity [...]

How to Get Your Oven Flowing Properly
An oven is where the most important step of baking takes place. So it make sense there’s lots to adjust. One thing to pay attention to: oven air velocity. What’s the big deal with air velocity? If your oven is blowing air the way it’s supposed to, you’ll increase quality and decrease waste. Four [...]

The Importance of Proofing
The proofing step is often seen as an invariable operation which is inherently reliable by itself. This statement cannot be more inaccurate. The proofer operation relies on several factors to successfully provide the intended effect on the dough. Inside the proofer, the dough is expected to expand several times its initial size, develop flavors [...]

Proofer Design
Proofer Design What is Proofer Design? A proofer is a piece of equipment designed to provide a specific temperature and relative humidity conditions to boost yeast activity of the fermenting dough pieces. Proofing equipment provides convective surface heating and conduction of heat from the dough surface to its interior. Typical proofing conditions [...]

Oven Air Velocity
Oven Air Velocity Also known as oven convective airflow What is Oven Air Velocity? Oven air velocity is defined as the flow rate of air in an oven chamber and is expressed in m/sec or ft/min. Measuring air velocity along with other oven parameters such as heat flux, humidity and temperature can [...]

Oven Humidity
Oven Humidity What is Oven Humidity? Oven humidity is an important variable in baking operations. Along with time, temperature and air flow (in convection ovens), it is used to better control the baking step. The temperature in an oven is higher than the boiling point of water (212°F or 100°C at sea [...]

Oven Baking Parameters
Oven Baking Parameters What are Oven Baking Parameters? Oven baking parameters cover five key variables that are involved in transforming dough or batter into a finished product. These parameters can be measured and controlled during the baking step. Understanding their interactions and role in producing high quality products is considered both an [...]

Measure Relative Humidity
When you measure relative humidity (RH), you're gauging the moisture in the air. The higher the RH%, the more moisture is out there. While you may be sick of humidity this time of year, it’s a very, very important part of baking. Done right, it works wonders on product consistently and quality. Why is it so important? [...]
