In the district of Erding always take part in less a Baker at the bread test. What is the reason? The head of the Guild Franz Gruber goes to search for clues.

Erding In the district of Erding, there are only 18 bakeries. More and more Bakeries and bread counters in supermarkets, and discounters, it is difficult to make the craft, the life. The bread examination was for many years an important quality of competition. However, the results are becoming less and less meaningful. Because fewer and fewer farms taking part. This year a new low was reached: in Just three bakers filed in breads and cakes.

a Total of 30 samples were measured, according to the kreishandwerkerschaft – 18 loaves of bread and twelve pies. The bread test the bakeries Gruber from St. Wolfgang, shiver from Hörlkofen and Neumaier from Reith oven. You could be very satisfied with the results, the auditors Manfred boots, even the master Baker, determined: In the case of the loaves, he gave 13 Times the grade of very good, and five Times the good. In the case of the rolls, in eight cases, the grade 1 and four grade two. The companies received certificates.

't feel so right to celebrate the Guild. "With the investment we are anything other than satisfied," admits chief master Franz Gruber from Sankt Wolfgang in an interview with our newspaper. "The issues in our industry no good, but a distorted testimony."

About the reasons for declining participation, he can only speculate. Of the colleagues, he can hear again and again that the criteria were too strict. "The Note very well, it is only when everything is really perfect," says Gruber. The rich already have a small bump in the crust, and there is only one "Good". The grade will only be awarded if 100 percent of the requirements are met. Gruber said, here, you could have the rules quite a liberal hand.

price of competition "steep". It will be settled according to variety, explains Gruber. 20 Euro per variety, some of my colleagues were too much.

Heuer was aggravating added that the examination took place on a Monday. "The baked goods must be at least a day old. For us this year meant that they must be on Saturday in the oven have been,“ says the Sergeant. Bread and rolls were so to have been at least two days old.

in Addition, some bakeries on Saturday had a lot of work, others as good as none at all. "These are both factors that have harmed the participation of sure this year." Last but not least a regular participant to the date of operation have had a holiday.

Gruber appealed to his Guild, to participate more in the test of Bread. "In the past few years, the results become increasingly better. This is a real proof of Quality.“ Twice the bakers were asked to participate. "No one can be overlooked," says the Sergeant. ham
