Leavening control consists in 4 stages:
Advantages:
- Elimination of night work: The baker kneads and prepares the different kinds of raw bread during the day, then introduces them in the leavening control appliance and automatically delays the leavening process through simple programming, so that when he arrives early in the morning, bread is ready to be baked.
- Improved product quality: Because a long leavening process gives the bread more flavour and extends its duration.
- Enhanced profits: Thanks to the rationalization of the production process, causing a reduction in the quantity of yeast used and resulting in the elimination of bread remains at the end of the day.

- Excessively soft dough
