French bakery manufacturer, Bridor, is celebrating World Bread Day on 16th October with its range of unique and desirable breads expertly designed for caterers and retailers. Made with high-quality ingredients, Bridor is committed to using its expansive industry know-how to share bakery traditions from around the world.
Bridor’s range of breads takes inspiration from baking practices from around the world, using unique shapes, ingredients and inclusions to bring delicious flavours that are synonymous with the product’s place of origin. Some examples of these include:
The Caractère Baguette is a 280g baguette with a shorter, chunkier shape than the traditional baguettes available on the market. Its irregular polka-style scoring gives the baguette a rustic look and the crumb has an appealing honeycomb texture thanks to its sourdough fermentation and high hydration rate.
Available in boxes of 22, these baguettes can be baked from frozen in 11-13 minutes at 210˚C.
Bridor’s Rustikal Brot range was created in collaboration with German brand Kamps to showcase the best of German rye and wholegrain bread. The Volkorn Triangle is made with 100% rye flour and contains rye sourdough. The bread has a dense crumb enriched with seeds (sunflower, flax and sesame) and the loaves are entirely covered with seeds for a crispy crust and attractive look.
Another variety of Bridor’s Rustikal Brot is the Kürbiskern Bread. Made with rye flour and wheat flour with sweet notes, the bread has a dense crumb and a 19% seed content. Entirely covered in pumpkin and sunflower seeds for a crunchier texture, this bread is an attractive, high fibre bread for all occasions.
The Volkorn Triangle is sold in boxes of 12 and the Kürbiskern bread in boxes of 7 and both breads can be baked from frozen in 25 minutes at 210°C.
The Pochon Loaf, created in collaboration with the winner of the Meilleur Ouvrier de France, a prestigious craftsmanship awardfor Baking, Frédéric Lalos, has a long fermentation time and is stone baked to create a subtle, sourdough flavour. These loaves are manually shaped to a unique form can only be obtained by hand. The four pleats of the dough create a rustic pocket shape and a thicker crust, guaranteeing a rustic look and great texture.
Available in boxes of 24, these loaves bake from frozen and are available in multiple sizes to suit a large range of occasions.
Bridor’s Northern European Sales Director, Erwan Inizan, said: “World Bread Day is always a wonderful time to reflect on the fantastic range of breads Bridor produces that celebrate the rich culinary tradition of this product around the world. Bread is a versatile, comforting and well-loved centrepiece around which meals and stories are shared.
