Chorleywood bread process last requirement means that it is difficult to reproduce CBP in a small-scale kitchen. The CBP is only a method of producing quick-ripened bread dough. Large-scale bread-making with automated processes pre-dates the CBP by at least a century. Flour, water, yeast, salt, fat, and, where used, minor ingredients common to many bread-making techniques such as Vitamin C, emulsifiers and enzymes are mechanically mixed for about three minutes.

Chilled water or ice may also be used to counteract the temperature rise
