The Adventures of Peter Wheat #55

In "A Trip Through the Bakery," Peter Wheat and his friend Beetle join the Wheat Folk and a wise old owl for an educational tour of a modern bakery. The story details the fifteen steps of commercial bread production, from flour storage and mixing the dough sponge through fermentation, a second mixing, molding, panning, steam-proofing, baking, cooling, slicing, and wrapping. As Peter and Beetle observe each stage of the process, the characters highlight how careful temperature control, proper ingredient selection, and specialized machinery work together to produce fresh, quality bread.
