Gb Plange, the leading European name in bread and morning goods improvers, is helping bakers gear up to meet the heavy demands of the hot-cross bun season.

The bakery specialist is urging bakers to harness the product qualities of its Energie 4 per cent Rich Bun Concentrate, to take the stresses and strains out of the Easter baking period.

Part of GB Plange's Energie morning goods improvers range, Energie 4 per cent Rich Bun Concentrate is perfect for producing a wide range of high-quality buns and really comes into its own at Easter.

Marie Parnell, General Manager, said: "With Hot Cross Buns high in demand, the Easter period puts a great deal of pressure on bakers.

"The extra strain on production can mean that the consistency and the quality of bun goods could be at risk. Energie 4 per cent Rich Bun Concentrate was developed to make a massive contribution to businesses, its low dose rate makes it very cost effective and in addition delivers the flexibility and reliability bakeries need to add their own sugar or fat, or work with spiced and un-spiced bun goods."
