Abstract From the Canadian patent

A precursor base for use in a bakery dough product comprising an acidic concentrate at least one type of sugar, yeast, at, least one type of flour non-fat dry milk and at least one type of lactic acid producing bacteria and a process for producing the precursor base are disclosed. The precursor base is useful in a process for producing a precursor slurry (or active ferment concentrate) for use in making a preferment dough mixture for the preparation of the bakery dough product. In addition processes for, preparing the precursor slurry and the preferment dough mixture and an apparatus for producing the preferment dough mixture are disclosed
