Equipment to Consider Before Opening a Bakery

Just like any other food-service business, a bakery will require a variety of equipment to store and prepare baked goods. Today's blog from Fast Fix LLC offers a list of equipment you'll need to consider for your bakery.

Commercial Mixer


The easiest way to make large amounts of dough at one time is with a commercial mixer. Commercial mixers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The size you need will depend on the type of baking you will be doing and your needs. For huge cakes and large amounts of bread, you might want a floor mixer. For a small own bakery, a commercial countertop mixer will likely do. To learn more about commercial mixers and how they'll need to be maintained, check out this blog.


Proofing Cabinet 


Baking in a commercial setting is much different from what you learned about baking from Grandma while growing up. If you are going to be preparing large amounts of dough that will need to rise, you'll want to consider purchasing a proofing cabinet. This piece of equipment is designed to maintain the best temperature and humidity to help your dough rise faster and stay moist. These cabinets come in all different sizes, so you can choose the one that best fits the needs of your bakery. The maintenance requirements for this equipment are relatively simple, just make sure you keep it clean.

Commercial Ovens


While you should be quite aware that every bakery needs an oven, do you understand the different types of ovens available? For a consistent finish, whether you're baking a cake or baking bread, you're going to need a convection oven. If you're just starting out and don't plan on baking more than two pans at a time, you could consider a countertop commercial oven. For anything more than that, you're going to need a full size oven, or two. Be sure to do your research to determine which model best fits your needs, because not all ovens are alike. The great news is that the ovens can grow as your business grows. You can always add roll in racks or a specialty oven down the road. The most important thing you can do to keep your commercial ovens in tip top shape is to keep them clean, free of dirt, grime and food build up. You can also consider hiring a professional restaurant equipment maintenance company in Missouri to come in regularly to perform maintenance checks through an individual agreement.

Divider, Sheeter and Roller


For a small bakery just starting out, you might be able to keep up with the demand by forming your dough by hand. However, as the bakery grows and the demand increases, you might consider investing in a divider, sheeter and roller. This piece of equipment will help you speed up the process of forming your dough, allowing you to produce more baked goods in a shorter amount of time.
