Why Process Chilling Matters in Baking - and Why G&D Chillers is at IBIE 2025 September 17, 2025 Baking is a science. From artisan bread and sweet goods to industrial-scale pastries and doughs, every step in the process must be precisely controlled to achieve consistent, high-quality results. That’s where chilling comes in—and why G&D Chillers is proud to be at IBIE 2025, the Western Hemisphere’s premier event for the grain-based food industry. The Role of Chilling in Baking Professional bakers know that temperature control is critical—not just in the oven, but long before dough hits the heat. From mixing to proofing to cooling, chilling plays a key role in: Maintaining dough integrity Excessive heat during mixing can kill yeast or degrade dough structure. Chilled water and jacketed mixers help maintain ideal dough temperatures. Process consistency at scale For industrial bakeries, ingredient temperatures can vary significantly depending on the season or production schedule. Process chillers stabilize these variables, ensuring repeatable product quality. Extending shelf life and food safety Rapid cooling post-bake or during intermediate steps helps meet food safety standards and preserve the freshness of baked goods.
