Frozen for Convenience

The increasing popularity of frozen, ready-to-bake products is due to several benefits they offer.

Ultimate convenience - take directly from freezer and bake-off as required. Individual items pre-prepared avoid all make up and weighing. They can be made by unskilled labour at low labour cost. Wastage is eliminated since stock can be baked as demand dictates.

Bakels manufacture a wide range of frozen muffins, rock cake batters, cookies, mini-mud cakes and sticky date puddings, all ideally suited to the retail baker.



Hot-baked Bread

Frozen or retarded doughs allow the baker to pre-prepare during quiet times, to store at 4ºC and to bake-off at times of peak customer demand. Freshly baked hot bread can then be available as required and nothing sells as well or attracts as much attention.

Conventional bread improvers will work in these processes however for the very best quality baked products, specialised improvers are recommended. Bakels frozen dough 1% improver is designed to provide the added processing tolerance required when using either frozen or retarded doughs.



Kokomix - one of our best sellers

Kokomix is one of the signature products of the Bakels Group and over the years it has been supported by a large number of recipe ideas. Coconut slices, macaroons and fruit tarts can be made with an almost endless array of inclusions.

Kokomix is a complete mix to which only water needs to be added.

Pictured are some of the more popular finished products. They are usually eaten as a light snack with tea of coffee. Full recipe details are available from your Bakels representative.





Woolworth's training

More and more these days, customers expect ingredient suppliers to 'take ownership' of their product and provide a complete package in order to promote sales.

One important component in such a package is the training of bakery staff. This training benefits all since it upgrades trades skills and increases sales for both the supplier and the bakery.

Australian Bakels has embarked on a most ambitious training program with Woolworth's, the largest supermarket in Australia with 650 stores - 540 of these with in-store bakeries. Baking staff at each of these stores will be individually trained by Bakels specialists over the next 6 months to support a major push on hot-baked crusty bread for the consumer.
