Plant-baked Perfection

Plant-based is becoming an increasingly important trend in bakery, as vegan claims proliferate on new product launches, and egg-free recipes come into ever greater demand.

Replacing eggs in bakery is a major challenge, however, as it is such a multi-functional ingredient. Eggs have different functionalities, by providing a matrix to your food system: It coagulates, delivers texture, and brings volume and air into your system. It is particularly this issue around volume in egg-free recipes that has proved to be such a challenge to bakery product developers in the past. After all, a cake containing too little air will be dense and will collapse.
