Proofing and Mixing

Minimize emissions during proofing by covering dough troughs with plastic

Develop and implement a Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP) which outlines the required cleaning operations and cleaning schedule for the mixing and proofing equipment and area, based on Food and Drug Administration (FDS) requirements.
