How To Make Biscuits

The process of biscuit production is a complex one that involves grouping various stages. Below, I will provide a complete explanation of the biscuit production process:

1. Raw Materials Preparation:

The first stage in biscuit production is the preparation of raw materials. The raw materials typically include flour, sugar, oil or fat, eggs, vanilla, salt, and other possible additives. These ingredients are placed in a mixer in the required proportions and mixed until a uniform blend is obtained.

2. Dough Preparation:

After mixing the raw materials, the dough is prepared. This stage involves fermenting the dough to strengthen the biscuit’s structure and create its texture and volume. The dough is placed in a proofing chamber and left for a specific duration at a predetermined temperature.

3. Design and Shaping:

Once the dough is prepared and the desired structure is achieved, specialized machines are used for designing and shaping the biscuits. The dough is transferred to suitable forming machines, where it is shaped into various forms such as circles, rectangles, hearts, etc.

4. Drying:

After shaping, the biscuits are transferred to a drying system. In this stage, any excess moisture is removed from the biscuits to achieve a dry and crispy texture. This stage may involve the use of a drying tunnel or a drying oven.

5. Baking:

Following the drying process, the biscuits are transferred to the baking system. During this stage, the biscuits are baked at an appropriate temperature for a specific duration to acquire a golden brown color and ensure that the interior structure is thoroughly cooked.

6. Cooling and Packaging:

After baking, the biscuits are moved to a cooling system to reach the desired room temperature. Once cooled, the biscuits are packaged. This stage involves placing the biscuits in individual packages, bulk packaging, or larger boxes. Packaging typically includes protective layers to safeguard the biscuits against moisture, pests, and breakage.

This process of biscuit production briefly includes the steps of preparing raw materials, preparing test, designing and shaping, drying, baking, cooling and packaging. Each step is done using its own equipment and processes to produce quality and delicious biscuits.
