Chorleywood bread process The process had an important impact in the United Kingdom where, at the time, few domestic wheat varieties were of sufficient quality to make high quality bread products; the process therefore permitted a much greater proportion of lower-protein domestic wheat to be used in the grist. The Chorleywood bread process allows the use of lower-protein wheats and reduces processing time, the system being able to produce a loaf of bread from flour to sliced and packaged form in about three-and-a-half hours. This is achieved through the addition of Vitamin C, fat, yeast, and intense mechanical working by high-speed mixers. The
