How to preserve uncooked flat bread/roti/chapati for at least 3 days

Hi everybody,

I'm going to establish a bakery industry where the product will be flat bread which is known as roti/chapati in asian continent. But I'm counfused about it's preservation for long time. I will make roti/chapati, then slightly bake them (half bake), then I pack them and sell to markets & shops. For this purpose, I need a way of preservation to keep them fresh for at least 3 days in normal temperature (without freezing). so friends please suggest me a way. Should I use preservative? If yes, then which will be the best & safe for people and also low cost?

Thanks in advance.

Shihab.

we do not eat all of the bread when i make it. i add a natural preservatives; 1/8 tsp vitamin c powder/ 3 cups flour & 1 tbsp granulated lecithin/cup of flour. we live in phoenix, arizona and bread can mold fast if you don't eat it quickly. i don't know if this will work for you but you can try variations of this technique.

wishing you luck, claudia
