A bread moulder (or curler moulder) takes the intermediate-proofed, rounded dough piece and shapes it into a cylinder for placement in the bread tin. The moulding step degasses the dough (eliminating large, irregular gas bubbles) and orients the gluten structure, producing the fine, even crumb structure characteristic of good sandwich bread. A standard sheeter-and-curl moulder has two or three stages: a sheeting (rolling) stage that flattens the dough piece to a thin sheet; a curling stage where the sheeted dough is rolled up from one end by a curling belt into a tight cylinder; and sometimes a final pressure board stage that tensions and compresses the curl. After moulding, the dough cylinder is placed in the baking tin — for sandwich loaves, two or three moulded pieces are typically placed side by side in a Pullman tin. The degree of curl tightness (controlled by the gap between the curling belt and the conveyor) affects the internal grain structure of the baked loaf — tighter curling gives finer grain.
Frequently asked questions
How does over-moulding affect bread quality?
Over-moulding (applying too much pressure or too tight a curl during moulding) can cause several problems: the gluten structure is over-developed and becomes too tight, restricting proofing (the dough cannot expand properly during the final proof); a tight, blistered crust may result from the dough skin being too tense; internal tunnelling or uneven crumb can result from improper degassing; and if the curl is too tight, the loaf may have a pronounced barrel shape or uneven rise. Under-moulding produces an open, irregular crumb. The correct moulding pressure and curl tightness must be set and validated for each dough recipe and dough piece weight, as stiffer doughs tolerate tighter curling than soft, extensible doughs.
Can a bread moulder be used for rolls as well as loaves?
A sheeter-and-curl moulder produces a cylinder shape — suitable for placing in a tin for loaf bread or for shaping finger rolls and torpedo rolls. For round rolls, a dough rounder (not a moulder) produces the finished shape. Most industrial bread lines are dedicated to one product format, but some flexible bakery lines use a moulder that can produce cylinders for loaves and have the moulder bypassed for roll products that are rounded and go directly to final proof. Baguette and French-style long-loaf moulders are a specialist type — they produce a long, tapered cylinder rather than the short cylinder of a tin bread moulder.
