On December 26th, 2024 Louis Roosevelt Cup World Baking Championship Roadshow ushered in the final stop and delivered a wonderful baking show in Chengdu’s Temperature Bread Classroom. This roadshow was co-organized by China National Association of Bakery & Confectionery Industries and Lesaffre China, and the Chengdu stop was hosted by Chengdu Yonghe Trading Co.

Chengdu’s cuisine and innovation are the result of its tolerance of all corners of the world and thousands of flavors. In this representative city in Southwest China, all kinds of bread flavors and novelty flavors are accepted, and different styles of bakeries have found their own living space. This year’s Champion Roadshow concludes in Chengdu, hoping that an eclectic attitude will revitalize bakers’ vitality and innovation.

The roadshow in Chengdu officially started at 9:30 a.m. Baking technicians and technical directors from all over Sichuan and Chongqing arrived early, looking forward to face-to-face exchanges with the champion contestants and coaches.

The focus of the Chengdu contestants was on sweet bread making. The winner, Zhou Zhenshan, explains in detail the techniques and precautions to be taken while working on the bread. The breads had an oily and crispy flavor, but at the same time had a fascinatingly perfect appearance, with layers of texture and crunch. Zhou Zhenshan demonstrated the most error-prone part of the sweet and shortening bread making process at the competition level, producing dozens of products with different shapes and flavors on the spot.

Excellent bakery products cannot be separated from exquisite operation techniques, but also benefit from the help of excellent raw materials. The yeast for this roadshow came from Swallow Yeast of Lesaffre Group, the flour came from Nam Soon Hong Kong Group, the butter came from Coleman, and the utensils came from Sannen brand, which continued to help the contestants’ stable performance.

From Luoyang, Shijiazhuang and Urumqi, to Jinan, Xi’an, Hangzhou, Shishi and finally Chengdu, the 2024 Louis Roquefort Cup World Bake Off Championship Roadshow traveled to 8 cities across China in 6 months, delivering international competition-level baking shows and face-to-face teaching to bakers everywhere.

With 2024 coming to a close, this year’s roadshow has come to a successful conclusion.
