Bakery ingredients refer to the essential raw materials utilized in baking, including flour, sugar, yeast, and eggs, which are vital for producing a wide range of baked items. These ingredients are mixed in specific ratios to create products such as bread, cakes, and pastries, with each ingredient playing a role in the texture, flavor, and structure of the final products.

The primary types of bakery ingredients consist of emulsifiers, leavening agents, enzymes, baking powders and mixes, oils, fats, and shortenings, as well as colors and flavors, starches, and other components. Emulsifiers are agents that facilitate the blending of ingredients that usually do not mix well, such as oil and water, resulting in a smooth and consistent texture in baked goods, which is essential for achieving uniformity in items such as cakes and cookies. These ingredients come in various forms, including dry and liquid, for uses in products such as bread, cookies and biscuits, rolls and pies, and cakes and pastries. The end users of these ingredients include industrial manufacturers, foodservice providers, and retail businesses.
