Goodbye, Proofing. Hello, Fresh Baked!

Over proofing. Under proofing. Proofing too much product, or too little. And the time it all takes! Proofing can be a tricky balancing act, yet it’s always been a necessary step to deliver on your customers’ fresh baked expectations — until now. Rich’s No Proof Bread and Roll Dough provide breakthrough solutions that thaw under refrigeration, then go directly into your oven with no proofing or floor time.​

July Market Outlook

Hotter months bring lower weight hogs converting to less supply. This couples with grilling season and the beginning of BLT season with retail bacon demand, markets for both bacon and sausage are increasing. Export demand is healthy while the industry waits to see what fallout (if any) occurs to fresh pork and raw bacon for California and Massachusetts with Prop 12 and Question 3 respectively.
