The Bread of Our Childhood, Just as Tasty and Healthier
Authentic Flavor, with Less Sodium
For bread lovers, flavor and texture are sacred.
In the scientific kitchen of Done Properly, we took this challenge to heart, committed to preserving the essence of traditional bread while complying with current health regulations.
International Collaboration for Improved Bread
As part of an international innovation program, we collaborated with a prestigious European bakery to integrate RAISE into various bread and baked dough recipes, aiming to reduce sodium content without losing quality.
Despite initial challenges, such as unexpected texture, we remained steadfast in our mission.
Unexpected Texture in Brioche Hamburger Bread
When substituting traditional salt with RAISE in our first trials, we encountered a dough stickier than anticipated. Salt is not just a flavor enhancer; it plays a vital structural role in the texture of bread, a fact that became evident in our initial experiments.
Strong Flour = Doughs with over 80% Moisture
Reformulation
The bakery’s preferred strong flour has a high protein content, meaning it retains more water. This detail challenged us to find a RAISE formula suitable for moist doughs.
With the guidance of our development chef, María Ignacia Rubilar, we reviewed and optimized the recipe by changing the version of our umami extract that met the challenge.
BREAD REDUCED BY 30% IN SODIUM
Six months later, we returned to Europe to demonstrate that our umami ingredient did indeed work for the intended purpose.
We managed to produce bread with a 30% reduction in sodium, maintaining the airy texture of fermented doughs, and even enhancing its flavor.
Identical texture, no visible changes
INDUSTRIAL BAKERY + DONE PROPERLY + RAISE = THE FUTURE OF BAKING
The result was bread that not only met but exceeded expectations, maintaining the sensory identity of the bread we all love.
This milestone represents not just a victory in Done Properly’s development kitchen but also a significant advance towards a future where health and gastronomy go hand in hand.
