A broad variety of sweet breads with different crumb characteristics
can be produced. These types of breads (danish, puff pastry,
pound cakes, cookies), along with white bread, are widely
consumed in Mexico (32 kg annual per capita consumption). Sweet
bread is one of the ten most consumed foodstuffs in daily meals
(Grupo Bimbo. Annual report, 2003). Quality of sweet bread
depends on the wheat flour characteristics, ingredients, as well as
the baking process.
