Practical Course in Biscuit Making

This course which is on offer at ZDS is a bakery technology course with intensive theoretical and practical elements.

It will be the first bakery course where the theory will be provided
-    in a brief and precise but nevertheless dedicated way
-    for various products and product groups
-    in line with the practical work

The modern equipment of the pilot plant offers the possibility to simulate a large range of manufacturing conditions and includes e.g. a band oven fed with a rotary moulding machine. The participants are kindly requested to bring samples of products from their companies for analysis and discussion.
Particular problems can be discussed with the co-ordinators.

• Course Description

The target of this course is to have a more in-depth understanding of the relation between: ingredients, recipes and recipe buildup, processing and bakery equipment and the huge variations in bakery products.

The focus of this course is mainly on the practical work. However, importance is also laid on the theoretical element in order to get a sound background and to be confident and in control of the process. Each day will start with brief and precise theoretical lessons containing the essential details before the practical part starts. This will help to see, predict and figure out what can be done … or not. Finally it will be interesting to compare theory and the practical results of the baking trials.

The objective of the course is to ensure that all participants
-    have widely broaden their knowledge of bakery technology
-    know when practical work needs to be based on theory
-    are more confident when working in the bakery field.

• Participants
This course is designed for all executives, members of management, production staff and other related departments in the respective companies and supplying industry.
Participants with experience will have the opportunity to increase their technological knowledge. Personnel starting their career will receive a comprehensive training and a broad knowledge about bakery technology and raw materials.

Program

Every day starts with theory containing the ingredients that are used for the products we want to produce during the practical hands on work in the bakery department.

Stressed on the importance on the interactions of the recipes we have a look at the various ingredients, reason why we use them and what will happen if we change it or vary in percentages / or weighing mistakes...as an example.

During this week the particpants will manufacture
• cookies
• hard dough
• wafers

The detailed daily program depends on the progress of workshop work and the intentions of the participants.
