Mndial du Pain 2019 Applicatin Prcess The Bread Bakers Guild f America is excited abut participating in the 7th Mndial du Pain. This will be the secnd time The Bread Bakers Guild will spnsr a team in the cmpetitin. The Guild is fficially beginning the selectin prcess fr applicant and the selectin prcess fr USA cmpetitrs at the Mndial du Pain held at Serbtel in Nantes, France in Octber 2019. The 7th Mndial du Pain (Wrld f Bread Cntest) is rganized by the Ambassadeurs du Pain. The Wrld f Bread was designed t assess the prfessinal skills f the participants t demnstrate, thrugh practice, t a wide audience, the evlutin and prgress f Art Bulanger, give new ideas fr gastrnmy, nutritin and stimulate yung prfessin. Great imprtance is attached t the preparatin f neat, balanced and diverse breads, and als t an attractive presentatin. Hw Mndial du Pain Differs frm the Cupe du Mnde de Bulangerie The Mndial du Pain is similar t the Cupe du Mnde in that the team is required t present a variety f Bread and Vienniserie as well a shwpiece within an 8 hur time frame. Hwever, it differs in that the team fr the Mndial du pain is cmprised f nly ne lead baker Candidate and a Cmmis (assistant) as ppsed t a three persn team. The Candidate must perfrm all categries with the supprt f the Cmmis during the cmpetitin. The Cmmis des nt wrk separately frm the lead baker as an independent cmpetitr. The batch sizes are smaller in the Mndial du Pain than in the Cupe du Mnde but the number f different prducts is similar. Anther majr difference is that the shwpiece is smaller and is nt made during the actual cmpetitin. It is made in advance clse t the cmpetitin date and then transprted t the cmpetitin. After the baking is cmpleted, there are an extra 30 minutes at the end f the cmpetitin in which the teams assemble the finished piece. Like the Cupe du Mnde, preparing fr the Mndial du Pain requires a tremendus amunt f dedicatin, cmmitment and hard wrk. It is als an incredible learning experience in which the cmpetitrs learn and grw in the craft. 1 P a g e
