10 THINGS TO DO WHEN YOUR BREAD BAKING BUSINESS IS FACING CHALLENGES

 

Bread bakeries and baking businesses like any other type of business will go through challenges. But how you handle it is important. bread business no doubt is lucrative, but it also comes with it's challenges 

May bakeries in Africa faces challenges ranging substandard flour quality, power supply that's not stable, problem of not being supported by government and even your community etc.

Apart from the above which are normal challenges, some bakers and bakeries are being affected negatively due to belief systems in spiritual forces like witches being the cause of their business failures.

I do know it's important to respect people's belief system, however, below are how you can take practical steps that can change your business for good results if it's going through turbulence.

I have given you ten powerful resources and steps that can help you get focussed to rise again. These are part of what I teach in my online professional bread classes as well as physical bread baking classes.

1. LOOK AT YOUR RECIPE AGAIN AND RE-EVALUATE IT WITH HONESTY.

Most times, it's not a spiritual matter, but technical issue. Check your recipes, your dough consistency and development, mixing methods, hydration, proofing and baking time as well as heat level and oven temperature. Solving these technical issues is very important to resolving your challenges.

You have to get the services of a mentor to access things and give you fresh start.

2. USE RIGHT INDUSTRIAL INGREDIENTS FOR BREAD

Many things can ruin your product quality. Expired ingredients, low gluten flour will damage your bread product.

Buy and use quality industrial ingredients, Softener for soft firm bread loaves,  antimould for long shelf life, EDC for chewy bread that bribgs out very elastic loaves with volume, and good rising. Source for high-quality ingredients. Invest in ingredients even if it costs more. Using low quality ingredients will cost you business failures. 

The more you use quality ingredients for your baking, the better your unique taste will be and the more loyal customers you will have

4. PRAY AND PLAN ALONG.

If you are the type that believe in prayers, you have to pray and also plan. Work and pray, seek diving guidance and wisdom. Write down your goals and try to find out why and where things went wrong.

Hard-work, smart thinking, patience and practice pays.

5. RETAKE YOUR BUSINESS FROM "WITCHES AND WIZARDS

 Most people who blame their challenges and failures in business on witches sometimes sufer from a different type of 'witch', and that 'witch' is FEAR. Not every failure is from spiritual forces. Take charge, be fearless, shift your mindset from fear to victory. Speak positive to your situation. 

6. OBSERVE YOUR ENVIRONMENT 

The environment where you bake may affect your product quality. From heat, dust, water type can ruin your dough. 

When we started earlier in Delta, my bakery was located and still located where there is gas flaring from an oil company. All our bread will scatter just the next day and customers keep complaining. I had to fix this with a technique I researched, implemented and things returned to normal.

7. GO ALL OUT THERE AND MARKET YOUR BRAND. Keep talking about it, create awareness. Even if you have the best baked bread and well packaged, no one will buy if they don't know about it.

Promote your bread on social media, from  Whatsapp, TikTok , Facebook, Instagram etc. 

Undertake road shows, give gifts, go to worship centers and local shops. Make your product visible to attract customers. See what we do.

8. SEEK FEEDBACK FROM CUSTOMER AND BE OPEN TO CRITICISM, EVEN IF ITS NEGATIVE.

Let people taste and tell you the truth—even if it hurts. That feedback may carry your breakthrough. Don't block your blessings with pride.

WHY DESIGNING YOUR PANS, BRANDING YOUR NYLON IS IMPORTANT IN YOUR BREAD BAKING BUSINESS

Baking good bread in very important in the business of bread baking. But there are two  things that can take the first and third step in-between bread baking.

It's important to know how to bake bread that lasts longer, chewy, elastic, and firm. But your pan design and nylon printing is very import factors in successful bread marketing. Many bakers do neglect this.

Pan: From Wenchi, Techiman, Kasoa, Bawku, Ho, Tarkwa, Walewale, Takoradi etc in Ghana, Lagos, Asaba, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Warri, Awka etc where I have visited to train people physically clients in  my One-On-One or group classes, it's all the same. People use the same shape and type of pans. And some even use local nylon(rubber) or plan, unprinted nylon. 

When you make pans for your bread, make it unique. I have gutters on my pan cover (lid) and it shows on my bread when baked. This is optional anyways. Some people have their signature on their bread.

NYLON PRINTING: Branding is a good way to market your bread. You need repeated customers who would know your brand to buy again and again. 

Print quality, unique nylon with your brand name. Don't use other people's nylon. That's business suicide. You are promoting other people's brand. It's also a crime. Don't use local nylon to poorly package your bread.

There are processes of printing your nylon.  And you need to understand it as a bakery owner. 

First you need to produce your Stereo and then print with your stereo anytime you want to print.

Always hold and keep your stereo with you after printing and not the printer holding it as they could print more and start selling your nylon to other bakers.

I shall be teaching about all of these processes in my next bread baking physical class in Lagos and Accra, and in my Online Bread Baking Classes.

HEALTH EFFECTS OF ADDING SWEETENERS IN BREAD BAKING

 

HEALTH EFFECTS OF ADDING SWEETENERS IN BREAD BAKING ALTERNATIVE, WHAT TO USE, How to produce a longer shelf life and soft bread.

As I consult and train, I am inundated with questions from bread bakers about their use of sweeteners in bread baking. So let's address it today.

There are three types of sweeteners; industrial approved sweeteners, artificial and natural sweeteners.
In #nigeria , #ghana , #kenya, #Liberia , #Gambia #Cameroon #togo, #beninrepublic #usa #uk #canada  etc, industrial sweeteners is used in bread #baking , #drinks and in #proccessed #foods. It's a mixture of high end , natural and artificial ones.

Some sweeteners which are approved and used for bread baking includes Sugar, Honey, Milk, etc
Lets look at some sweeteners that are not too good for health below:

Saccharine could be linked to bladder cancer when consumed in high doses.

Stevia is a natural plant base sweetener and can be used as it's diabetic friendly. It is not artificial but natural.

In Nigeria and other places, there are several unapproved substandard sweeteners in the market and bakers use them without understanding the health implications or assume it's safe and approved.

Long use of these artificial sweeteners can pose health challenges and serious risks.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Use honey, dates, molasses, and sugar for your baking.

FOR SOFT AND LONGER SHELF LIFE
Glucose
Glycerin
Milk Powder
Vinegar

WHY YOU NEED BREAD OVEN THERMOMETER FOR YOUR BREAD BAKING... Free Bread Lesson

If you use fabricated oven of any kind to bake bread (which I highly recommend as long as it's galvanized padded oven), you will need to hang oven thermometer inside the oven.

There are reasons baked bread collapse inside the oven and also once you bring it out. Temperature is the issue. 

The first 15 minutes of your bread baking is crucial and very important. It's called oven spring. That's when your yeast acts and your dough rises to fill your pan. After fifteen to twenty minutes, your bread will stop rising as yeast is killed in the rising bread dough. The rest time is cooking. 

You need to place your oven thermometer to read the temperature of your oven as you bake. Very compulsory to achieve good bread output.

You see it rising and once oven is 180 celcius, you will need to tune down your oven heat. This is why you need thermometer to monitor your oven temperature. And you need a good oven and oven regulator.

When there is too little heat, your bread won't bake well, it will come out saggy, uncooked and wobbling. Too much heat and your bread won't rise or have the right volume, could burn and and feel dry in texture.

You must master the art and science of oven temperature regulation.

Do not open oven for the first 20 minutes of baking during the oven spring. This is because opening oven will alter the temperature of oven and will result in bread being baked collapsing to center, especially your butter bread.

Finally let me state this: Not all oven is for bread and this could be one reason you are having issues with your bread coming out wrongly. 

Galvanized padded Ovens are quality ovens made with galvanized padded materials. They are for bread and pastries. They bake bread because bread flour is hard flour made from hard wheat.

Soft flour is used for pastries and cake and any oven, most of which people buy cheaply can bake cake. Soft flour is made from soft wheat.

Also never bake bread without adding industrial ingredients as this is what makes it commercial. 

This is me Chef Henry Omenogor, The Go-to Expert in Bread Baking and Science.
