THE NEEDS
OVENS
Stoves vary considerably in quality and price. You need high quality stoves and might be
able to find a used one in good condition. A small convection oven accommodates as
much as five sheet pans, while a double convection oven holds twice as many pans and
lets you bake two different temperatures. If you bake artisan breads, a deck oven might
be a good investment, as it has an opening for sliding the pans onto deck.
PROOF BOXES
Professional bakers need a proof box where their bread and roll dough can rise at the
right temperature. Proof boxes come in various sizes. For a small bakery, a mobile proof
box is a good choice. It holds about 20 pans and can be moved out of the way when
you’re not using it. Mobile proof boxes are generally much less expensive than built-in
models.
You’ll need to purchase at least the 8” x 26” baking sheets and two or more racks. Also,
you’ll need around cake pans, sheet pans, pie and muffin tins.
MIXERS
Mixers needed include a planetary dough mixer with 30 to 40-quart capacity, as well as
a counter mixer.
WORKTABLES
You’ll want space to store the items you use all the time, as well as a place to work. Get
the sturdiest worktables you can budget for, because they will get a lot of use. Consider
your height as you choose what tables to purchase; a tall person trying to work at too-
short table will suffer back pain.
SINKS
Federal regulations require bakeries and other commercial operations to have three
different sinks. You will need a three-department sink to wash, rinse and sanitize dishes
that can’t go into the dishwasher, and you will also need a mop sink and a separate sink
for hand washing.
MISCELLANEOUS
Other needed items include slicers for a bread, scales for weighing bulk ingredients,
cake decorating tools, ingredient bins and one or more refrigerators. Don’t forget to
include smaller things, such baking utensils, oven mitts and packaging paper.
C. SIZE OF BUSINESS
