DoughSoft™ and DoughStretch™ — Dough Conditioners for Commercial Bakeries

Improve Dough Tolerance and Volume

DoughSoft™ and DoughStretch™ are dough conditioners that help commercial bakeries improve dough tolerance, volume, and machinability while maintaining freshness. DoughSoft helps strengthen the structure and soften crumb without synthetic emulsifiers, while DoughStretch helps relax dough for improved sheeting and rolling. Our dough conditioners can help you deliver consistent, high-quality baked goods and greater production efficiency.

How DoughSoft™ and DoughStretch™ Help Improve Product Performance

DoughSoft™ helps improve tolerance, structure, and volume across breads, rolls, buns, tortillas, flatbreads, and other bakery applications. DoughSoft™ supports cleaner labels by helping maintain softness and texture using enzymes to replace DATEM and mono- and diglycerides.

DoughStretch™ improves dough handling by creating soft, extensible dough that sheets and rolls more easily. This helps reduce production slowdowns from tearing, shrinking, excess mixing time, and waste on high-speed lines. Both solutions give commercial bakeries formulation flexibility with options to support performance, label, cost, and application needs.

Why Choose DoughSoft?

DoughSoft is an all-purpose enzyme blend that improves tolerance, volume, and quality across a wide range of baked goods—without the synthetic emulsifiers consumers increasingly avoid.

  • Improves tolerance and volume: Strengthens dough for consistent results across breads, rolls, buns, tortillas, and flatbreads.
  • Maintain textural shelf life: Softens crumb and helps maintain texture through storage.
  • Supports cleaner labels: Replaces DATEM or mono- and diglycerides.
  • Ready-to-use: Premixed and dose-ready for easy addition, ask our technical experts which blend is best for your application.
