Long Life Breads
Hi Members
I am very interested in creating a part baked long life bread. These are widely available in European supermarkets.
Delifrance a France based commercial bakery do many products that have a three month shelf life. They come in a sealed plastic pack, and go in the oven for 10-12 minutes and you have fresh backed bread.
Does anyone know how they do this.
Regards
J

Delifrance uses modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for such long term storage:

I could find no list of the ingredients in their bread, so it's quite possible they also use chemicals to prolong the shelf life.
