AB Mauri Unipan Plus 1689 bread improver in a 15 kg bakery sack, used by commercial bakers for pan loaves, rolls, burger buns and flatbreads.
A tall paper sack with a cream top half, a yellow chevron and a blue lower half patterned with small wheat marks, the AB Mauri name in white along the base, and a gold wheat roundel at the top. The front label reads Unipan PLUS 1689 in English and Arabic, with the weight given as 15 kg. AB Mauri is a large bakery ingredients company that supplies yeast and improvers to bakeries around the world. As general background, a bread improver, also called a dough conditioner or flour treatment agent, is added to bread dough to strengthen its texture or otherwise improve it, and such agents are used to speed up rising and improve the strength and workability of the dough. In a busy bakery that typically means more even loaves from batch to batch. The gallery shows a rack of glossy round rolls, a sliced white pan loaf and a baker shaping dough balls on a floured steel bench. Commonly, bakers weigh the improver with the flour at the dosage on the sack, mix and knead as usual, and use it for sandwich loaves, burger buns, hot dog rolls, Arabic bread and sweet buns. Keep the sack folded and sealed off the floor in a dry store.
