One promising business opportunity in the bakery industry is to introduce premium bread variants made with high-quality ingredients and visually appealing presentations. Bread has become a staple food popular in various cultures around the world. In addition to being an important source of carbohydrates, bread can also be a good source of fiber when using the right bread varieties.

What is fiber? Fiber is a component of food that cannot be digested by the body. When we consume fiber-rich bread, it contributes to maintaining our digestive system. Moreover, premium bread can be produced using high-quality grains such as whole wheat, quinoa, or chia seeds. Innovation in taste and presentation is a crucial factor in the premium bread business.

According to Chef Mickey Gunawan, “In bread, fiber can be found in the wheat bran and in ingredients such as oats, nuts, and other grains, both as toppings and as main ingredients.” Whole wheat bread is considered to be one type of bread with high fiber content. However, it doesn’t mean that fiber-rich pastry or bread creations are limited to just whole wheat bread. “Currently, people are also very interested in pastries like Croissants and Danish,” added Chef Mickey Gunawan.

Croissant is a type of pastry that has a distinct shape, which is circular with crispy and layered textures. Usually, croissants are made from wheat flour as the main ingredient. However, Smart Bakers can create regular croissants into fiber-rich creations by using whole wheat flour with the Whole Wheat Croissant recipe ala FILMA®. Don’t forget to use FILMA® Margarine and FILMA® Puff Pastry to ensure that the resulting croissants are soft, fragrant, and of premium quality.

In addition to croissants, Smart Bakers can also try other FILMA® recipe creations, such as Choco Danish with Pistachio Topping, which uses FILMA® Prestige Margarine to provide a soft cake texture and a unique fruity butter aroma.

In developing a premium bakery business, it is important to maintain product quality. Chef Mickey recommends FILMA® Prestige Margarine as one of the important ingredients in creating premium bakery creations because FILMA® Prestige Margarine is a high-quality butter blend that can provide a perfect combination of margarine and butter.

Chef Mickey also advises Smart Bakers who want to start a premium bakery business, “Stay innovative and creative, and be open to new ideas in order to thrive in today’s bakery business competition.”

One key to success in creating premium cakes is to choose high-quality ingredients that can produce a soft texture and rich flavour. Use FILMA® products that are now trans-fat-free and also come in more environmentally friendly packaging! Smart Bakers can get FILMA® products here!
