Honey Oat Pan Loaves
GUIDELINES FOR SAFE FOOD HANDLING & PACKAGING
Our donation project is successful thanks to the personal commitment each of our bakers makes to adhering to the following food safety practices:
- Store your ingredients in a clean, dry and cool environment.
- Wash your hands and keep your work surface clean.
- Pull long hair back or even better, regardless of hair length, wear a cap, like a ball cap to prevent unwanted hair from falling into your baked goods.
- Make sure loaves are thoroughly baked, nice brown coloring all the way around, hollow sound when you gently thump on the bottom.
- To cool loaves, leave in the pan on a cooling rack for 3-5 minutes, then remove from pan to finish cooling. This prevents unwanted condensation from building up between the loaves and pans.
- Packaging
- Place stickers on bags and press firmly. It is a pressure adhesive. Label the bags and let them sit for a few minutes before filling.
- When loaves are completely cooled, room temperature, use kitchen tongs or a gloved hand to place the loaf in the bag. Avoid placing a warm loaf in the bag, it creates condensation in the bag that will lead to mold and spoilage.
- Squeeze as much air out as possible then twist tie tightly closed.
- Place in freezer or if donating within 24 hours, place in a brown paper bag, mark with your name and take them to your designated donation hub by the drop off time.
- Well done!
