We use a par-baked sandwich roll in our restaurant which are delivered frozen and kept frozen until the they are to be used. We take them out of the freezer and cook them about 15 minutes before they are served. They are of excellent quality as long as they are kept frozen from bakery to restaurant. There are times that we receive some which are starting to mold due to thawing during transit.
If you plan to bake your own pastries you need to plan on arriving at the restaurant at about 3:30 a.m. to start the baking for the day. It is possible to prepare some doughs the day before and refrigerate until you plan to use them.
I would try to bake everything fresh if you plan on being known for your baked goods. I would also suggest getting a good recipe for cinnamon rolls or buns. They are always a great favorite and are not really that hard to make.
Where will your restaurant be? If it's at all close to Northern California I'd love to be a customer. |
