The best breads in Hungary were selected

This year, the professional organization announced its competition in 3 categories. 20 bakeries launched their 33 products for the title of Saint Stephen’s Day Bread, 19 companies entered the Innovative bread category with 38 products, while 12 businesses entered 27 products for the Salty Walking Cake. The entrants developed their baked goods for this competition, so they have not yet appeared on the market. In the first round of the prize-winning competition, based on the professional jury’s scoring, the 9 highest-scoring products from each category entered the second round of judging.

You could apply for the Szent István daily bread category with a product that was made with traditional, added yeast, sourdough technology, and at least two types of flour. It was a requirement that it contain only Hungarian and natural ingredients. During the evaluation, the jury members scored the shape, shell, lining, aroma, taste, aesthetics and shelf life. The breads are also subjected to laboratory tests to determine whether their salt and acidity levels meet the requirements of the Hungarian Food Code.
