Permanent bread

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Persistent bread (also: canned bread ) is a special type of bread . It can be preserved in dry form ( dry bread preserves ) or in moist form ( canned bread preserves ) using heat so that it can be kept for at least six months. The guiding principles for bread and biscuits contain no definition of long-life bread.

Typical products are:

  • for dry bread preserves:
    • Flatbreads , such as crispbread , waffle bread
    • dried loafs
    • Foil bread preserves (sterilized for a particularly long time and tightly packed in shrink film or cellophane )
  • for canned bread: (these are filled into the cans after the baking process and then sterilized)
    • Canned bread
    • Canned bread

In addition to the long shelf life, canned bread is also characterized by its slightly sweet taste, which is caused by the sterilization process. Therefore, long-life breads usually do not contain any preservatives . Typical uses for long- life bread are: emergency bread in the event of a disaster, ship bread and soldier bread .
