  • About
One of the primary functions of a formula is to indicate the ingredients and correct quantities or measurements to be used to make a product.
Ingredients are almost always weighed in the bakeshop, rather than measured by volume, because measurement by weight is more accurate. Accuracy of measurement, as we have said, is essential in the bakeshop. Unlike home baking recipes, a professional baker’s formula will not call for 6 cups flour, for example.
