how is bread
mass produced?
Sifted flour is piped into a huge electric mixing bowl called a hopper and mixed with yeast and warm water. It comes out of the hopper as a large ball of dough. It is wheeled into a warm damp room.
Here the yeast makes gas bubbles. The bubbles push around inside the dough, causing it to spread out and start to rise.
Now the dough, puffier than before, is wheeled into a machine that mixes it with salt and vitamins.
It then goes back into the warm damp room to rise more. Next, two machines shape the dough into smaller loaves.
After it rises a third time, it glides on a moving belt through huge ovens, where people watch it through small windows.
It emerges once baked, is colled, sliced, and wrapped by machines.
the end.
