Last week, we had our annual Office Cookie Baking extravaganza! 🎄

Each year, our employees invite their families to bake and decorate cookies at our Milwaukee office headquarters. Three days full of rolling out doughs, decorating, laughter, smiles, and sweets. 

A huge thank you to our amazing bakers in our Lesaffre Baking Center for all their hard work to bring holiday magic to our office!

Happy holidays from all of us at Red Star Yeast & Lesaffre! 🫶🎁

What happens when dough is proofing? 🍞
👉 Yeast consumes available sugars in the dough.
👉This is alcoholic fermentation. Carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol are released by the yeast cells into the surrounding liquid in the dough.
👉When a dough is developed, the gas cannot escape due to the elasticity. This causes the dough to inflate and rise. 🎈
👉Ethyl alcohol provides typical flavor and aromas of yeast leavened breads.
A pastry so good, they named it after the Big Man himself. 🎅
