Abstract

Bread has been considered to be an easiest processing from wheat flour that suits our modern world. Bakery goods are an integral component of a modern lifestyle. Bread contains all the required sources as much as possible for a diet including calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium. Bread may be leavened by naturally occurring bacteria, chemicals, yeast developed industrially, or aeration at high pressure. This article presents a detailed note on production of bread at small and large scale level also the economic analysis. The investment and cost for production all comprised under economic analysis.
