Bakery manufacturers are facing numerous challenges today including labor shortages and increased raw material costs. Bakeries are finding themselves short-staffed, meaning that customer service suffers and employees are overworked.1 Increased costs and limited availability of various raw materials have led to an increase in overall costs, decreasing margins.

In addition to these challenges, consumers are also looking for high-quality affordable options. They want their baked foods to be fresh, safe and with a pleasing taste and texture. Consumers seeking high-quality baked goods place a strong emphasis on textural quality. How can you overcome textural challenges and provide affordable, quality baked goods?
