Manufacturing process

  • Leavened or unleavened dough. In addition to yeast, baking soda is a very common leavening agent.
  • Cut from a sheet of dough or a thick sheet of dough obtained from a divided dough ball.
  • Baked in high temperature ovens for a short time with minimal proofing.
  • Good rollability after baking for a certain period of time.
  • Accompaniment for a wide variety of foods.

Thanks to our global experience, we are able to convert traditional process technology into high-performance automatic lines.

A special application in the flatbread category is pizza and its derivatives:

The basic dough is made with flour, water, salt, yeast and oil, and after mixing it undergoes a long fermentation process. The use of sponge and sourdough is also common.
