The Surprise Loaves category is aimed at bakers, caterers, patissiers and event catering professionals who want to create regular, clean, well-structured surprise loaves. These loaves, generally filled with mini-sandwiches or canapés for buffets, cocktails and receptions, require perfectly cylindrical baking and flawless shaping. The circles ensure uniformity of shape, facilitate horizontal slicing into equal portions, and enable aesthetic assembly of the final product.
The surprise bread ring generally takes the form of a bottomless stainless steel or aluminum mold, designed to withstand the heat of the oven while maintaining the bread’s straight contours during baking. This type of mold is ideal for brioche, sourdough and wholemeal breads. It also ensures even baking, with no overflow, and the evenness essential for final dressing.
