and score just before baking.
5. Creating Custom Variations… Bread
Cheeses, sautéed onions, mushrooms, peppers, fresh herbs, roasted garlic, etc. can be
sprinkled on top of or folded into the dough prior to proofing and baking. This gives
an extra value and added possibility to these rolls.
After baking and cooling, the finished product can be brushed with any oil or sprayed
with butter flavored pan spray on the bottom side of the product and then flash
grilled for 10 seconds or less. This will add a nice smoky flavor and char marks to the
finished product giving it added value and high desirability among customers. This can
also be done a la carte to warm and refresh the roll for immediate preparation and
serving.
