Bread moulds
BREAD MOULDS
Bread moulds are very useful tools both for those who want to prepare fresh bread at home and for bakeries and restaurants that offer different types of bread to their customers every day. There are various types of bread moulds on the market, ranging from bread pans to michette moulds, from ribbed bread moulds to tortoise bread moulds.
Professional bread moulds have a history dating back to ancient times: initially, they were made using natural materials such as palm leaves, bark or animal skins to hold the dough and create the bread shapes, but with industrialisation came the need for standardised moulds to ensure a uniform bread shape and simplify the production process. At the beginning of the 19th century, bread moulds were mainly made of wood or ceramic materials, whereas today they are mostly made of steel or plastic, making them much more hygienic, durable and versatile.
TYPES OF PROFESSIONAL BREAD MOLDS
There are molds made of different materials, but the most popular are stainless steel and silicone bread molds. But what are the differences between these two types of products?
- Longevity: steel bread molds tend to have a longer shelf life than silicone molds, which being soft are more likely to break more easily.
- Heat conduction: steel bread molds conduct heat better than silicone molds, this ensures more even baking of bread.
- Oven use: steel bread molds can be used in gas, electric and induction ovens, unlike silicone molds which may warp when exposed to high temperatures.
- Weight: steel molds tend to be heavier than silicone bread molds, which could affect ease of maneuvering during use.
- Cleanliness: silicone molds are nonstick and easy to clean, while steel molds may be more difficult to clean because being more porous, bits of bread could stick to the mold walls.
- Versatility: steel and silicone bread molds can also be used for baking other baked goods such as cakes or pies.
